Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- 5-6 campari tomatoes ripe
- 2 tablespoon Italian parsley finely chopped
- ½ garlic clove, minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon honey
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Dice into ½" pieces.
- Dice tomato into ½" pieces. Put diced tomato into mesh strainer and shake out excess liquid.
- Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add chopped parsley to the bowl. Pour dressing over vegetables and stir gently until well coated. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors marinate.
Notes
- I prefer the flavor of English cucumbers over standard varieties, and Persian cucumbers are another great option. Both have a lower water content, making them ideal for salads.
- I like to use campari tomatoes for this salad but you can use your favorite variety. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, roma tomatoes, etc. will all work!
- I like to use a simple dressing of extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. You can substitute red wine vinegar or your favorite vinaigrette for an extra acidic kick.
- Tossing the diced tomatoes in a mesh strainer helps remove excess juices which keeps the salad from getting soggy.
