Ingredients
- 2 pieces matzah sheets
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.5 bunch parsley
- 0.25 cup mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Break the matzah sheets into bite-sized pieces and set them aside in a large salad bowl.
Dice the cucumber into small cubes and add to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in the bowl with the matzah and cucumber.
Finely slice the red onion and mix it into the salad.
Roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves, then add them to the bowl for a fresh herby flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the matzah to slightly soften from the dressing before serving.
