Traditionally the Mediterranean salad is made of finely chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, mint and parsley – and the finer the chopping, the better the salad.
Our updated version is colorful and wonderfully crunchy, thanks to the radishes and carrots.
Feel free to add other vegetables or omit any, according to your taste.
