Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Red onion
- 100 grams Black olives
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Dice the tomatoes into medium-sized chunks and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin slices or half-moon shapes, then add it to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, dice it finely, and add it to the mix.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the bowl, separating them into rings.
Drain the black olives if using brined or canned olives, and slice them in half if preferred. Add them to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for a garnish.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator before serving.
