Green salad (tomato, cucumber, parsley) is a simple combination of fresh vegetables, usually chopped and served raw. In Turkey, it is a familiar homemade side, with the cut and proportions varying from one kitchen to another.
Juicy tomato, cool cucumber and herbaceous parsley make it crisp and refreshing. Serve it alongside grilled meat or fish, beans, rice dishes or a broader mezze spread; it also works as a light lunch with bread and cheese. A squeeze of lemon and a little olive oil are all it needs, and you can keep it lighter by using the oil sparingly. It is low in calories and provides fibre, while adding fresh vegetables to the meal with very little preparation.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Chop the tomato and cucumber, then toss them with finely chopped parsley. Add olive oil, lemon juice and salt just before serving so the vegetables stay crisp and the salad does not turn watery.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing suits this salad best. Mix it with a little salt and black pepper, then toss it through the vegetables just before serving to keep them from releasing too much liquid.
Tomatoes and cucumbers release liquid after they are cut, and salt draws out more moisture. Keep the salad crisp by adding salt and dressing only shortly before you serve it.
Yes, you can wash and chop the ingredients ahead, but store them undressed in a covered container in the refrigerator. Add the salt, lemon and oil shortly before serving for the freshest texture.
Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator and eat them promptly. The tomato and cucumber soften and release liquid as they sit, so dressed salad loses its fresh texture faster than the separate ingredients.
No, peeling is optional; wash the cucumber well and leave the skin on if you like its texture. Peel it if the skin tastes bitter or you prefer a softer, more delicate salad.
Yes, tender parsley stems are edible and can be finely chopped into the salad. Remove thicker, woody stems, which are tougher and have a stronger flavor than the leaves.
Serve it alongside grilled fish, chicken, meat, or beans, or use it to add freshness to a sandwich or wrap. Its bright, juicy ingredients pair especially well with rich or savory main dishes.
Yes, thinly sliced red or white onion is a common addition and gives the salad a sharper bite. If raw onion tastes too strong, rinse the slices briefly under cold water before mixing them in.
Yes, it is an easy way to include fresh vegetables in daily meals. For a more filling meal, serve it with a protein-rich food such as beans, eggs, fish or chicken rather than relying on the salad alone.
