Wash the tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them into a mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-moons, depending on your preference. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin (if using) to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tomatoes, onions, and parsley. Toss gently but thoroughly to combine and coat the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a light appetizer. Enjoy!
