Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 2 large fresh cucumbers diced, see notes (i didn’t remove the seeds, personal preference can do either)
  • 2 cups diced tomato I used small grape tomatoes
  • ½ cup red onion or sweet white salad onion chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves chopped
  • 4 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil good quality
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Optional Add ons
  • kalamata olives green olives
  • feta cheese
  • bell peppers

Method
 

  1. Wash and cut all fresh veggies (tip: for best flavor chill the vegetables prior)
  2. If you want the salad to remain fresh longer you can remove the seeds from the tomato and cucumber but it is not necessary because I'd make as much as you'd consume on the day 1.
  3. Mix the salad dressing in a small bowl or mason jar.
  4. Place cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, mint, parsley in a large mixing bowl, toss in the dressing, and serve! Optional add ons include salty feta cheese, trio of olives, bell peppers, artichokes.
