Ingredients

Cucumber(seedless)- 1

Tomato-1

cup Red onion- Finely chopped- ¼

Parsley- at least 2 handfuls

teaspoon Olive oil- 3

The usual Salt and Pepper to taste

Lemon juice- To taste (optional)

Preparation

Remove the seeds from the tomato and chop it finely. If the cucumber has seeds, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and chop it.

Finely chop the parsley. In a bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, onion, tomato and parsley and mix well. You can refrigerate it as well. Just before serving add salt, pepper, Olive oil and toss well to coat. Add lemon juice if needed.

Most important thing to remember is to add fresh Parsley and add as much as you can. Adding Parsley gives a fresh look and taste to the salad. Do not add cilantro(coriander leaves), that gives a different taste.

Serve as such or on a bed of lettuce. Goes very well with toasted pita bread and hummus on the side.
