Mediterranean Salad

I guess this is a cross between a Greek salad and a Nicoise.

You can play around with it as you like. For example, you can replace chick peas with Borlotti beans or perhaps leave out the parsley and use snow pea sprouts instead.

• 6 tomatoes, diced
• 2 Lebanese cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 Spanish onion, finely sliced
