Instructions

  • 1.   1️⃣ 🥒 Prepare the cucumber
    Wash the cucumber and cut it into thick slices or half-moons. If the skin is thick, partially peel it for easier digestion.
    2️⃣ 🍅 Cut the cherry tomatoes
    Wash the red and yellow cherry tomatoes, then cut them in half to release their juice and naturally flavor the salad.
    3️⃣ 🧅 Slice the red onion
    Slice the red onion into thin rounds. To soften it, soak them in cold water for 1 minute, then drain carefully.
    4️⃣ 🫒 Add the olives
    Drain the black olives and incorporate them whole or slightly crushed to release their flavors.
    5️⃣ 🌿 Chop the fresh herbs
    Finely chop the parsley and chives to bring freshness and digestive support to the salad.
    6️⃣ 🍋🫒 Prepare the dressing
    In a bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until you get a light vinaigrette.
    7️⃣ 🌀 Assemble the salad
    In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and olives. Pour the dressing, add the herbs, then mix gently.
    💡 Tip to facilitate the recipe
    👉 Lightly drain the cucumber after cutting if it is very juicy: the salad will remain crunchy and more pleasant to digest.
    🔄 An ingredient to swap
    👉 Black olives can be replaced with green olives for a milder and equally digestible flavor.
    🔥 "Cooking" tip (no cooking)
    👉 Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature before serving: this helps the flavors to blend without upsetting the stomach.
