This delicious classic is perfect for any occasion. It is a refreshing and nutrient-dense, plant-based side that can easily be made a meal if you introduce a bit of protein.
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: None Makes: 6 servings
5 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced small
3 Persian cucumbers, diced small
½ small onion, diced small
1 small handful minced fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
Juice from 1 lemon
