Parsley, lemon and cucumber salad is made by combining chopped parsley and cucumber with fresh lemon juice. Add salt, pepper and olive oil if you like, and toss shortly before serving so the cucumber stays crisp.
Parsley, lemon and cucumber salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, meat or roasted vegetables. Serve it alongside grains or beans, or add it to a plate with eggs and cheese for a light meal.
No, parsley, lemon and cucumber salad is not the same as tabbouleh. Tabbouleh traditionally includes bulgur and relies heavily on parsley, while this salad features cucumber and does not need bulgur.
Parsley, lemon and cucumber salad gets watery because cut cucumber releases moisture, especially after it is salted or left sitting. Dry the cucumber after washing, and season and dress the salad close to serving time.
You can chop the ingredients for parsley, lemon and cucumber salad ahead, but keep them separate until serving. Add the lemon juice and salt at the last moment to help the cucumber stay crisp and prevent excess liquid.
No, peeling is not necessary for parsley, lemon and cucumber salad if the cucumber is clean and its skin is pleasant to eat. Peel it if the skin is tough, bitter or difficult to wash thoroughly.
Yes, tender parsley stems work in parsley, lemon and cucumber salad. Chop them finely along with the leaves; remove any thick, woody stems if you want a softer texture.
You can add olive oil, finely chopped red onion, mint or crumbled feta to parsley, lemon and cucumber salad. Keep additions modest so they complement, rather than cover up, the fresh parsley, citrus and cucumber.
Keep parsley, lemon and cucumber salad covered in the refrigerator and eat it while the herbs and cucumber are still crisp. If you are preparing it in advance, store the chopped ingredients separately from the dressing.

Salad made of parsley, lemon and cucumber combines chopped parsley and crisp cucumber with the bright, tart flavor of lemon. It is a simple fresh salad rather than a dish tied to one particular cuisine, and it can be dressed with a little oil or served with just lemon. Around the table, it works well as a refreshing side for grilled foods, grains or sandwiches, and can also add crunch to a wrap. It is low in calories and provides some fibre and vitamin C; 100 g has 28 calories. For a more filling meal, pair it with beans or another protein-rich food, or keep the dressing light for a particularly fresh accompaniment.
