This is how Italian housewives prepare this popular salad.
Few things are as associated with summer as cucumber and tomato salad. This dish has become a classic for both a quiet family dinner and a summer feast.
The salad can be slightly modified. Then the taste of the usual dish will change favorably, but will not lose those summer notes for which everyone loves it.
Peel two tomatoes and one cucumber and cut into small cubes. Finely chop a bunch of parsley and green onions.
At this stage, you need to salt and pepper the vegetables to taste, and then season with olive oil. And then come the secret ingredients.
Chop a few mint leaves and add to the salad, mix, and then sprinkle the dish with lemon juice.
Mix everything again and leave it to brew for 15 minutes. After that, you can taste it. The salad doesn’t taste much different from the usual dish, but it allows you to diversify your menu a little.
