Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 200 grams Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 0.5 medium Red Onion
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black Pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry.
Peel the cucumber and dice it into small, even cubes. Transfer to a large bowl.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters, remove seeds if desired, and finely chop them. Add to the bowl with the cucumber.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, even cubes and add it to the bowl.
Finely dice half of the red onion and add to the vegetable mixture.
Roughly chop the capers and fresh parsley, then fold them into the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to combine. Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt or pepper.
To serve, use a round ring mold (if available) to plate the vegetable tartare neatly on individual plates. If a mold isn’t available, simply spoon the mixture into a small mound.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
