Instructions
In a large bowl, add the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapeno, red onion, and basil ( parsley or mint). Season with salt and black pepper and mix toss.

This salad is great served with basmati rice and a main dish. This is also perfect to add into a falafel or chicken wrap.
If you would like to make this salad even more hearty, add feta cheese, kalamata olives and a cooked lentils or chickpeas.
