Units

For Vegetables

  • 2 Persian cucumbers finely chopped
  • 2 Roma tomatoes finely chopped
  • 4 oz green onions finely chopped
  • 4 oz parsley finely chopped
  • 2 oz of fresh mint finely chopped

For Dressing

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Chop vegetables into small pieces, each vegetable is chopped about 1/4 of an inch or smaller.
  2. Chop green onions.
  3. Pick mint leaves and parsley leaves, wash well, rinse, and chop finely.
  4. Place all chopped vegetables in a large bowl.
  5. Pour freshly squeezed lemon, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil over the salad and mix everything well together.

  • Salad doesn't keep very well once it's dressed. Always add the dressing just before serving.
  • Another way to prepare the salad dressing is by placing all the ingredients in a mason jar mixing well and then pouring over the salad.
