Ingredients

• 2 medium cucumber
• 3 medium tomatoes
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.5 bunch parsley
• 100 grams mish cheese (fermented cheese)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.

Step 2

Dice the cucumbers and tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 3

Peel and finely slice the red onion into thin rings or small pieces, depending on preference. Add to the bowl.

Step 4

Chop the parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.

Step 5

Crumble the mish cheese into small chunks and add it to the salad. The cheese will add a tangy, salty flavor, so adjust the salt in the dressing accordingly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating of the dressing.

Step 8

Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or a light, flavorful meal.
