Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Peel the red onion and finely chop it. Add it to the bowl for a hint of sharp flavor.
Finely chop fresh parsley and add it to the vegetable mixture for a burst of herbaceous freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
