A refreshing and tangy cucumber, tomato, and onion salad tossed in a zesty lemon dressing. Perfect as a light side dish or a healthy snack.
2 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Wash and prepare all vegetables: thinly slice the cucumbers and red onion, and chop the tomatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the lemon dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl.
Toss the salad gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley over the salad and toss lightly again.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
