Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Orange tomatoes
- 1 large English cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the orange tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly under cold water.
Cut the orange tomatoes into bite-sized wedges and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it thinly into rounds. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Thinly slice a quarter of a medium-sized red onion and add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
In a separate small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the orange juice, maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake the mixture vigorously until it is well emulsified.
Pour the orange-maple dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine and coat evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
