Thoroughly wash the parsley and mint leaves under running water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or a salad spinner.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely, removing any tough stems. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and chop it into small cubes. Add it to the mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the parsley salad immediately as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
