Slice the cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds to avoid the salad going soggy. Finely dice. You can leave to sit with a pinch of salt to draw out excess moisture.
For the tomatoes, finely dice then add to a sieve with 1 tbsp salt. Leave to sit for 15 mins to draw out moisture.
Finely dice the red onion, fresh parsley and mint.
Drain the tomatoes and cucumber, reserving 2 tbsp of tomato juice.
For the dressing, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, tomato juice, salt, pepper and juice of a lemon.
Add the chopped tomato, cucumber, onion and fresh herbs into a large bowl, then mix well.
Dress when serving so your salad stays fresh and not soggy. Serve alongside your main meal, or simply eat as a salad or as a dip.
