Steps
- Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and carrot in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a dressing. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the salad to ensure all the vegetables are coated with the dressing.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend together and enhances the taste.
- Remove the salad from the refrigerator. Give it a final toss to mix the flavors, and transfer it to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley or mint leaves on top as a garnish.
- Enjoy as a standalone dish or as a side salad alongside grilled meats, fish, or other main courses.
