Salade Libanaise

I had this salad in a lebanese restaurant several times. And yesterday evening I just wanted to do it. Not able to remember the lebanese name of that salad, I could not find the recipe and hence, was forced to improvised.


Cut a cucumber without the seeds in small cubes. Cut 3 tomatoes without the seeds in little cubes. Cut half a purple onion in small bits. Mix the whole. Add mint leaves according to your taste and the strength of their flavour. Add some parsley, salt and pepper.
Pour in the juice of two lemons and 2 dessert spoons of olive oil. Mix well.

Now, take some bread (best would be lebanese bread of course but some normal bread for toasting can be used). Cut it in cubes as well and apply pressure on each of them to make the bread denser. Try to make the cubs flat.
Then fry quickly in a bit of olive oil. Add the bread in the salad at the moment of serving.
