Ingredients:

150g

100g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
3.80g
4 tbsp lemon juice
60g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Chop the Herbs:
- Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Finely chop the parsley.
2. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized salad bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber.
- Add the chopped parsley to the bowl.
3. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, salt, olive oil, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Dress the Salad:
- Pour the lemon juice mixture over the vegetables in the salad bowl.
- Toss everything gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Serve:
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes so the flavors can meld together.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or enjoy as a light, healthy snack.

Tips:

- Chop the vegetables uniformly: Ensure that the cherry tomatoes and cucumber are chopped into even, bite-sized pieces for a more aesthetically pleasing and evenly textured salad.

- Use fresh herbs: Fresh parsley will impart a brighter and more aromatic flavor compared to dried herbs, making a significant difference in the taste of your salad.

- Adjust seasoning to taste: Feel free to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference. Taste as you go to ensure the flavors are balanced.

- Let the salad sit: Allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste.

- Add other vegetables: Feel free to experiment by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, red onions, or radishes to add more color and complexity to the salad.

- Use a high-quality olive oil: Opt for extra virgin olive oil as it provides a more robust and fruity flavor, which complements the fresh ingredients perfectly.

Your Tomato salad is now ready to enjoy! The combination of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, fresh parsley, and a tangy lemon and olive oil dressing makes for a refreshing and nutritious dish. This simple yet delicious salad can be served on its own, alongside grilled meats, or as part of a larger Mediterranean spread. Enjoy the flavors and health benefits of this vibrant creation.
