Simple Tomato Cucumber Salad With Lemon Dressing
Serves 4 to 6
Time: 15 to 20 minutes
Printable Version
- 3 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1.5 cups sliced cucumber (about 1/8-inch thick slices) I recommend Persian/Lebanese or Kirby Cucumbers
- 1/2 a small mild onion, very thinly sliced. If the onions are hot and sulfury, slice them up first, give them a cold water bath for 5 to 10 minutes, and drain well before adding to the salad
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley (I use the stems as well.)
- the zest of half a lemon
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt to start (you can adjust up later)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Gently toss all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until salad is evenly and thoroughly dressed. If possible, let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb flavors before serving.
Enjoy.
