Instructions

Peel and cut the cucumbers into small dice. If using large cucumbers, deseed them before dicing. Place them in a bowl.
Chop the tomatoes the same size as the cucumbers and add them to the bowl. If you have the time, peel the tomatoes to make your salad even juicier.
Slice the Turkish peppers and the red onion, and scatter them on top of the cucumbers and tomatoes.
Sprinkle on some finely chopped parsley and drizzle with some olive oil.
Lastly, pour the lemon juice and vinegar (if using) on and season your salad with some salt.

Notes

The vegetables for Coban Salatasi should be fairly finely chopped, but not so small that the vegetables become mushy. They are meant to be fresh and crunchy.
Don't prepare this salad too much in advance as it will lose its crunch and it will get soggy. Prepare only as much as you need as the leftovers won't keep well.
One portion of this traditional Turkish salad has only 130 kcal.
This Coban Salatasi is best when eaten freshly made. However, if you want to keep the leftovers, you can refrigerate them in an airtight container for 24 hours. It won't be as crunchy as freshly made but will still be delicious!
This salad is a great side dish that pairs perfectly with almost everything from kebabs to casseroles.
