ingredients

  • 2 extra large tomatoes
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1/2 medium red onion
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • ½ C herbs (Italian parsley, mint or cilantro, or a mix)
  • zest of one lemon
  • Lemon juice (start with ½ a lemon, more to taste)
  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

instructions

  1. Chop the first 6 ingredients into a very small fine dice. The smaller, the better. Take your time with this and a sharp knife really makes this easier!
  2. Place in a large bowl and toss with the lemon zest, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper.
  3. Taste and adjust lemon and salt to your liking.
