Fresh Tomato and Cucumber Salad with Herbs
A light refreshing side dish and perfect for any meal that is prepared perfectly with your brand new Samura Knife. We recommend any santoku (slicing, dicing, and mincing) knives in any series including Harakiri, Bamboo, Meteora, Kaiju etc.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 1 lebanese cucumebr
- 1 small red onion
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley and mint to taste
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Slice the tomatoes into wedges or rounds using your Samura knife’s clean edge – the ultra sharp blade glides through without crushing the delicate surface
- Half the cucumber before slicing into thin half-moons
- Thinly slice the red onion – the precision of Samura’s knife edge makes it easy to get paper-thin slices
- Roughly chop parsley and mint. Santoku knives suit all types of chopping needs without having to switch knives.
- Combine everything into a serving bowl, dizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt & pepper
- Toss gently and serve fresh!
Knife Tip: Use a rocking motion for the herbs and a straight slicing technique for tomatoes to make the most of your Samura knife’s sharp, balanced design.
