Cucumber & Tomato Salad with Preserved Lemon

Lamb

In this cucumber and tomato salad recipe, preserved lemon adds a tangy, salty bite. Serve this healthy salad as an accompaniment to dishes like grilled lamb or chicken or as a side on a bed of finely julienned purple kale, lightly dressed with more olive oil and lemon juice. Look for preserved lemons at specialty-foods stores.

Ingredients

3 cups diced unpeeled small cucumbers, preferably Persian (see Tip) or “mini”
1 ½ cups assorted cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
¼ cup finely chopped white onion
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons minced preserved lemon or 1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Description

Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, preserved lemon (or zest), lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Let stand for at least 10 minutes (and up to 2 hours) for the flavors to meld.
Add oil and toss to coat. Season with pepper.
