Every great meal includes a fresh salad! Here's a basic recipe that you can keep in the fridge for up to three days to accompany your favourite soup, stew or main course.
Basic Tomato and Cucumber Salad
3 tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 medium cucumber, sliced lengthwise, then thinly sliced
10 green onions, sliced (including the white parts)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1-2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1 tsp. dill (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
Place all vegetables in a non-reactive serving bowl.
Mix the lemon juice and olive oil together and add the dill (or herb of choice, mint is very good too) if desired as well as salt and pepper to taste.
If you want, you can add a sprinkle of lime zest for garnish.
Notes:
You might want to double the recipe if you really love it so you have lots of left-overs!
You can also mix this salad with some fresh greens especially if it's been in the fridge and is well marinated.
Enjoy!
