Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 0.5 bunch parsley
- 100 grams mish cheese (fermented cheese)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Dice the cucumbers and tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel and finely slice the red onion into thin rings or small pieces, depending on preference. Add to the bowl.
Chop the parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.
Crumble the mish cheese into small chunks and add it to the salad. The cheese will add a tangy, salty flavor, so adjust the salt in the dressing accordingly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating of the dressing.
Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light, flavorful meal.
