Chadian salad is a colorful and flavorful salad that combines fresh vegetables with a zesty dressing. It is a healthy and refreshing dish, perfect for hot summer days or as a side dish to accompany grilled meats or fish.

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or mint leaves, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and carrot in a mixing bowl.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a dressing. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
