      Cucumber & Tomato Salad with Preserved Lemon

      Low Sodium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegan Vegetarian Diabetes-Friendly Heart Healthy Dairy-Free Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American French Lunch Appetizer Salad

      Cucumber & Tomato Salad with Preserved Lemon

      Low Sodium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegan Vegetarian Diabetes-Friendly Heart Healthy Dairy-Free Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American French Lunch Appetizer Salad
      4 servings
      Prep time: 25 minutes
      Total time: 35 minutes

      Description

      In this cucumber and tomato salad recipe, preserved lemon adds a tangy, salty bite. If you prefer, lemon zest is a good substitute here. Serve this healthy salad as an accompaniment to dishes like grilled lamb or chicken or as a side on a bed of finely julienned purple kale, lightly dressed with more olive oil and lemon juice.

      Directions

      1. Combine cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, preserved lemon (or zest), lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Let stand for at least 10 minutes (and up to 2 hours) for the flavors to meld.
      2. Add oil and toss to coat. Season with pepper.

      Tips

      • Tip: Persian cucumbers are nearly seedless and are thin-skinned enough to be served unpeeled. They’re usually 5 to 6 inches long and can be used interchangeably with the similar but larger English cucumber.
      • Make ahead: Let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
