Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumber and tomatoes, then slice the cucumber into thin rounds and cut the tomatoes into wedges.
  2. Slice the red onion very finely and leave it for a few minutes in a little cold water to soften its taste.
  3. In a salad bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper.
  4. Add the pumpkin seed oil in a thin stream, whisking to emulsify the dressing.
  5. Add the drained vegetables to the bowl and mix gently.
  6. Leave to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature so the flavours can blend.
  7. Sprinkle with caraway and parsley just before serving.

Variations and tips

Creamy version. Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to the dressing for a milder salad.
