Turkish spoon salad, ezme salad

Very favorite Turkish salad. Serve it with T bone, ribs, steak, chops and kebabs.

3 tomatoes skinned and finely diced
1 red pepper seeded and finely diced
1/2 english cucumber or 1 lebanese cucumber finely diced
1medium red onion peeled and finely diced
3 tablespoons italian parsley finely chopped
1 teaspoon tomato paste (my prefer is hot Turkish red pepper paste)
1 teaspoon red - wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
black pepper
lemon slice for garnish (optional)

Place the finely diced tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, onion and chopped parsley on a large chopping board. Then use sharp, large knife to chop them all together to fine dice. Scrape into a large bowl, then add the wine vinegar, olive oil, paste, salt and black pepper. Stir throughly and leave for 30 minutes to macerate.
