Something about pulling veggies from the garden makes me want to eat them more than usual! This is our first crop, now we are waiting for the heirlooms!

I love tomatoes out of the garden (like those pictured here). I make this simple salad a LOT during the summer. It goes great with our Hummus Dinner or as a side dish to whatever you cook up! This recipe was inspired by eating out at Lebanese and Greek restaurants (yum!). Bonus: it’s fast, easy, nutritious + delish and ready to go in about 15 minutes! What’s not to like?

Tomato, Cucumber & Red Onion Salad

2 C chopped tomatoes (or halved cherry or pear tomatoes)

1/2 C diced red onions

1 medium cucumber*, large dice

1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped or torn

drizzle each of extra virgin olive oil & red wine vinegar

salt & pepper

Combine all in large bowl. Serve.

*if desired, salt & drain cucumbers to remove excess water
