This is a Turkish dish usually served for breakfast, which I am familiar with from my dad.
Ingredients:
cucumber, diced
tomato, diced
onion, diced
parsley,
diced
lemon, squeezed
olive oil
sea salt, sprinkled
Preparation:
Same ratio of cucumber and tomato. A little less onion, small hand of parsley. start off with 1/2 a lemon squeezed. Pour olive oil to taste. Let it marinate for 5 minutes at least.
Remember not to let it sit for too long since vegetable oils go rancid very quickly. Ideally, buy extra virgin cold pressed olive oil is a amber glass jar. So the light does and oxygen do not make the fats go rancid. Fats go rancid way before you can even tell since they are barely any amino acids. Same goes for coconut oil, etc.

I make this kind of salad all the time! I like to add Zatar when it's on hand.

Throw in some red bell pepper and a handful of black olives and you get an Israeli salad :c) Always a favorite.
