Mediterranean salad

I remember how my mom would go to the markets in LA always looking for her Persian cucumbers. In Vegas she finds these delicious cucumbers either at Trader Joes or at Costco. Whenever she would make this salad, we would have to hide it because our neighbor Alan would be all over it. We’ve moved since then.

You’ll need:

A plate for one

4 Persian cucumbers

4 medium tomatoes (or a punnet of cherry tomatoes)

¼ onions

Tablespoon of curly leaf parsley

Half a lemon

Tablespoon of vegetable oil

Salt to taste

How to:

Wash the cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, and lemon. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces, if using the cherry tomatoes then just slice them in half. Place them in a mixing bowl and begin chopping the cucumbers and add them to bowl. Chop the onion into very tiny pieces and tear the parsley with hands mixing all the vegetables together. Pour in the oil and juice squeezed from half the lemon and add as much salt as you like. Remember that less is better than more—you can always add more if not salty enough. NO pepper in this salad. It sounds easy and yet it’s taste in unbelievable!
