Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Course Salad
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 TSP Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 TSP sugar (I used two Splenda packets)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 Lemon

Salad

  • 1 cucumber, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 C Fresh basil
  • 1/2 C Italian Parsley
  • 1/4 C mint
  • 1/2 Red onion, sliced thinly and then roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place oil, vinegar, and minced garlic in small mixing bowl.
  • Zest the lemon into the same bowl.
  • Juice the lemon and add to bowl
  • Add sweetener and thoroughly mix. You can add more later once the salad is mixed.
  • Add the dressing to the salad and thoroughly mix so that the dressing covers all the ingredients. It shouldn't need more sweetener, but taste it to be sure. Besides, it's yummy.
  • Let the ingredients sit for at least five minutes so the flavors blend. If it'll be more than five minutes, refrigerate it. I don't recommend refrigeratoring it overnight, as the tomatoes and cucumbers will lose their liquid.
