Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.5 bunch Fresh parsley
- 10 Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sumac
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables. Wash the cucumber and peel it if desired. Chop it into small cubes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the tomatoes into similar-sized cubes as the cucumber, removing any excess seeds or juice to prevent the salad from becoming too watery. Add the tomatoes to the cucumber in the mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and chop it finely. Add it to the bowl with the cucumbers and tomatoes.
Rinse the parsley and mint leaves thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel before chopping them finely. Add the herbs to the mixture in the bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper, and sumac. This will be your dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve the Soy-Free Arabic Salad immediately and enjoy it as a fresh, zesty side dish or on its own.
