Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber

- 100 grams Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Fresh garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel the cucumbers if you prefer them without skin, then dice them into small cubes.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in halves.
Core and dice the red bell pepper into similar-sized cubes as the cucumber.
Peel and finely slice half of the red onion into thin strips.
Pit and slice the Kalamata olives (if not already pitted).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, sliced onion, and olives.
Rinse the fresh parsley and mint, then finely chop them before adding to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic clove, sea salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated.
Taste the salad and add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve immediately for optimal freshness or let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
