Ingredients for this recipe Show / hide list

2 medium cucumbers
3 medium ripe tomatoes
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or mint
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

STEP 4 OF 5

Place the cucumber, tomatoes and drained onion in a serving bowl. Pour over the dressing and turn the vegetables gently with two large spoons. Sprinkle in the herbs and toss once more. Taste a bite containing both tomato and cucumber before deciding whether it needs more seasoning.

Serve soon after dressing. A wide, shallow bowl makes the salad easy to share and helps the herbs stay visible. Spoon a little dressing over each portion, but leave excess liquid in the bowl if the tomatoes release a lot of juice.
