A refreshing and flavorful salad combining the crispness of cucumbers with the juiciness of tomatoes, enhanced with a zesty dressing.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in the serving bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices.
Sprinkle the salt over the cucumbers and toss gently to coat.
This step helps draw out excess moisture from the cucumbers.
Let the cucumbers sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
The cucumber juice will enhance the dressing's flavor.
Dice the tomatoes and slice the scallions, then add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the vegetables, then sprinkle with black pepper.
Mix the dressing ingredients separately for a more even distribution.
Toss everything gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all the vegetables.
Be gentle to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad cold and enjoy as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.
