Loaded with fresh and vibrant flavors and dressed with olive oil, black pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar, and fresh herbs, this Mediterranean salad is light yet refreshing and with a twist. The key to making this simple yet flavourful salad is to cut and toss fresh vegetables like cucumber, tomato, and onion into bite-size pieces, with a dash of lemon juice and Apple Cider Vinegar to make it tangy,a sprinkling of black pepper powder, salt and fresh herbs like cilantro for seasoning. This salad makes for a perfect summer appetizer or as a side to kababs, grilled chicken, meat, vegetables, koftas, or any rice preparation.

Steps

1

Finely dice the vegetables and add it to a bowl. Refrigerate for an hour. Add the dressing just an hour before serving. This dressing time imparts great flavor to this lovely colourful salad.
2

Mix lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Add it to the salad. Season with salt and pepper and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro. Toss till dressing coats the salad. The salad should be crunchy and fresh. So add salt just before serving to retain crunchiness. Serve it within an hour after the dressing is added. Serve chilled with toasted Pita Bread or add to wraps, sandwiches, or along with falafel, kababs, grilled chicken, meat, fish, vegetables, koftas, or any rice preparation.
