Persian Veggie Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (lemon juice is fine, too)
• 1 tsp. cumin (I like cumin seeds better - if you can find them, use them!)
• 1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
• 4 Tbsp. flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 5 Persian cucumbers or 2 English "Hot House" cucumbers, cut into 1/8 inch cubes. Basically you want seedless cucumbers with a thin skin)
• 4 tomatoes, cut into 1/8 inch cubes
• 1/2 a small red onion, cut into 1/8 inch cubes
• salt and pepper to taste

*It's not traditional, but I use one bell pepper (of any color) in mine. It gives it a fantastic new dimension!

Directions:

Whisk together oil and lime juice. Add cumin, mint, parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion then toss to combine. And salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled.
