This delicious Mediterranean based salad is perfect as a light lunch or dinner or as an accompaniment to a meat based meal.

Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 English cucumber, cut lengthwise, seeded, and sliced ½-inch thick

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 3–4 Roma tomatoes halved and cut into ½ inch slices
