Cucumber Tomato Salad

I feel silly for needing a recipe for this basic salad, but it helped me get the taste right. My mother-in-law calls this Shepard's Salad and serves it regularly. It's a typical Turkish dish. I changed this recipe from the original by adding oil, salt and pepper.

Ingredients:

4 mini cucumbers, roughly chopped

1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved

2/3 cup fresh parsley and/or mint, chopped

1/3 cup chopped green onion

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (half a lemon)

1 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Stir together cucumber, tomatoes, herbs, green onions and lemon juice. Let sit for a half-hour to an hour before serving. Supposed to be served with bread.
