Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing your cucumbers and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons and halve the cherry tomatoes for that vibrant touch.
  2. Take those celery stalks and cut them into bite-sized pieces. This will make every forkful enjoyable and easy to handle!
  3. Thinly slice the red onion to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
  4. In a spacious bowl, toss together the cucumbers, celery, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully mixed.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over your lovely salad mix, and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  7. You can serve this refreshing salad immediately or chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes for an even more invigorating taste experience.

Notes

For a zesty kick, add a sprinkle of chili flakes on top just before serving! Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle. Store dressing separately from the salad for optimal freshness.
