Çoban Salatası

Wash the tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, parsley, and mint. Peel the cucumbers if desired, and remove the stems and seeds from the pepper.

Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into roughly 1 cm cubes, and finely dice the green pepper to the same size.

Slice the onion into thin half-moons, sprinkle with salt, and rub with your hands until softened, then rinse under cold water and drain well.

Finely chop the parsley and fresh mint. Transfer all the prepared vegetables and herbs into a bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss with a fork, taking care not to mash the tomatoes.

Serve immediately while the vegetables are still crisp, as a side dish with meat, fish, or rice.
