Try this with a number of toppings that you can mix and match, or just choose one: hummus, baba ganoush, tahini. Though it isn't traditional, I like to make pita sandwiches filled with this salad and chive cream cheese for the morning.
Makes 6 servings
3 medium tomatoes, cubed into bite-size pieces
1 large cucumber, preferably with skin thin enough not to peel such as an English cucumber, cubed into bite-size pieces
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts, or 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bell pepper (optional)
Combine all ingredients, stirring to evenly distribute lemon juice and olive oil. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve with slices of warm pita bread.
