We love this summery, cooling cucumber salad. It is herbaceous, bright, and fresh. It is great to put in wraps, stir into hummus, or eat as a side. Quick to make, it adds a real punch of flavor to our summer meals.
Makes: enough to top 6 sandwiches
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup diced cucumber
1 small tomato, optional
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
salt
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 tbsp minced green part of green onion
1/4 cup minced mint
Wash and finely dice the cucumber. If using tomato, first cut it in half. If it is meaty, finely dice and add to cucumber. If it has a good bit of water, scoop out the water and seeds before dicing to decrease the liquid in salad. Finely mince the herbs. Toss the herbs, tomato (if using), cucumber, salt and lemon juice in a bowl. Refrigerate before enjoying!
