Tomato Cucumber Salad

A really simple and refreshing tomato cucumber summer salad with and a light citrus dressing and fresh parsley.


I am sending this dish to Reeni' Side Dish Showdown-Anything Goes.

• 250 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
  
  
• 150 g Cucumber, seeded and diced
  
  
• 1-2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  
  
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
  
  
• 1 Shallot, finely chopped
  
  
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
  
• 1 tbsp Fresh parley, chopped
  
  

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add in the chopped shallot and sliced garlic. Stir-fry for over medium heat until lightly golden. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
   
   
2. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves and the cucumber to 1cm dices. Transfer them into a salad bowl. Pour in the dressing and parsley. Toss gently and chill for an hour before serving.
