Instructions

  1. Wash all the vegetables. Deseed the tomatoes and pepper, then cut them into small, even dice.
  2. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds if they're large, then dice it to the same size.
  3. Finely slice the red onion and rinse it quickly under cold water to mellow its taste.
  4. In a bowl, mix the vegetables with the chopped parsley and the finely sliced green chilli if using.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cumin.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently and leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving well chilled.

Variations and tips

With olives. Add pitted black olives for a more flavourful salad.

Tuna version. Add a tin of drained tuna to make it a more filling dish.
