Ep. 2
European Salad
Every European knows this salad. The juice at the bottom is the whole point — catch it with a piece of bread.

Ingredients
- About 30 cherry tomatoes
- 1 English cucumber
- ½ red onion
- ⅕ of a bunch of cilantro
- Juice of 1 whole lemon
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
How It’s Made
- Halve about 30 cherry tomatoes.
- Dice 1 English cucumber and ½ a red onion.
- Roll 1 whole lemon on the counter first — it gives more juice — then squeeze it all in.
- Chop ⅕ of a bunch of cilantro and drop it in. Yes, cilantro.
- Add 1 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp olive oil.
- Toss it and let it sit a few minutes. The juice builds at the bottom — that’s the whole point.
- Serve it next to rice and beef, or potatoes. The juice runs over everything.
- Last step, not optional: catch the last of that juice with a piece of bread.
Makes 2 servings — it’s a side; it goes next to the main plate.
