Ingredients

    VEGETABLES:
    3 medium Tomatoes, chopped
    1 medium Cucumber, chopped
    1 large Green Bell Pepper, chopped
    1/2 medium Red Onion, chopped
    1/2 cup fresh Parsley, chopped

    DRESSING:
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tsp fresh ground pepper
    1 tsp salt

Directions

Place the vegetables into a medium-sized glass or plastic bowl (do not use metal, it will react to the lemon juice).

In a small bowl, mix the dressing and pour over the vegetables.

Gently toss all ingredients to coat evenly. Serve immediately. We eat this with a spoon to get every drop of juice! (Leftovers become juicy and are a little like Gazpacho without the spice... delicious!)

NOTE: Adding fresh mint or cilantro instead of the parsley is also very good! It is still good if you reduce the salt for lower sodium.

Recipe makes Four 8-oz servings = 32 oz total.

    I really like this salad and it's so easy to make! Since I don't like onions, I did pick out all the red onions. The rest of my household wanted the onions, lol. It is really good! - 6/30/10

    Fresh and healthy way to use garden produce. Next time might substitute balsamic vinegar for lemon juice for a bit more flavor - 8/21/10
