- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Peel the cucumber, and slice it into thin rounds. Transfer the slices into a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Slice the bell pepper into thin strips, removing any seeds and the core, then add to the bowl.
Peel the carrot and use a julienne peeler or grate it into thin strips. Add the carrot to the mixing bowl.
Slice the red onion thinly, and add the slices to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad in the mixing bowl.
Toss the salad gently with a pair of salad tongs until all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving.
