Moroccan Salad     

Ingredients:
1 small red onion, finely diced
juice of half a lemon
4-5 medium tomatoes
1 English cucumber
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:
Finely dice the onion and place it into the bottom of the salad bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice over, tossing the onion to coat it in the juice. Leave it to pickle while you prepare the rest of the salad.

Cut the tomatoes in half, use your finger to dig out the seeds and juices from each section, discarding them. Set each seeded tomato half cut-side-down to drain while you seed the rest. Cut the seeded tomatoes into 1/2 inch dice. Place the diced tomatoes on top of the marinating onions, but don't stir them yet.

Dice the cucumber into small cubes (1/4-1/2 inch), and layer them on top of the tomatoes.

Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley and cilantro. Sprinkle the cumin, salt, and pepper on top of the herbs. Drizzle the olive oil down the sides of the bowl.

Toss and serve right away or cover and refrigerate the salad until serving time. Toss just before serving.
