Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 100 grams kalamata olives
- 60 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the cucumber optionally, then slice it lengthwise and cut into half-moon shapes about 1/4 inch thick.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and stem, then slice it into thin strips. Add to the mixing bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add to the mixing bowl with the other vegetables.
Pit the kalamata olives if necessary, then halve them and add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything lightly to combine and coat all ingredients evenly.
Chop the fresh oregano and parsley finely and sprinkle over the salad for added flavor.
Serve immediately or let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together for a more intense taste experience.
