Ingredients
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 large or 2 medium cucumbers, peeled if desired, seeded and chopped
- a pound or so of ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
- handful of fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon zaatar (essential in Israeli cooking, available at Red Stick Spice)
- kosher salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon
Directions
Combine the red onion in a large bowl with the lemon zest and juice, tossing well to marinate onion.
While the onion marinates, chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, and parsley, and add to the bowl.
Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle on the zaatar and season to taste with salt.
Toss together well and adjust the seasoning with more olive oil/zaatar/ salt as desired.
Serve, spooning up lots of dressing with each portion (I like to serve this in teacups).
