Categories side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch dice
3 vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 a palm full

Steps:

Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley in a bowl with your fingertips. Squeeze the juice of the lemon with the lemon half sitting upright. This will help prevent the seeds from falling into the bowl. The lemon juice will spill down over the sides of the lemon and the seeds will remain with the fruit. Squeeze the juice evenly over the salad. If the lemon is under-ripe, microwave it for 10 seconds before you cut into it. Next, sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the salad -- just eyeball it. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, add the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss again. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
Use fresh green peppers: Fresh green peppers will give your salad a crisp, refreshing flavor. Look for peppers that are deep green in color and have no blemishes.
Dice the vegetables evenly: Dicing the vegetables evenly will help them cook evenly and will also make the salad more visually appealing.
Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook the vegetables just until they are tender-crisp.
Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add flavor and richness to your salad. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, will add a pop of flavor to your salad. Add them just before serving.

Conclusion:
