How to Make Leek Salad

  1. Whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Thinly slice 2 large leeks and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit. Gently pat them dry.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the leeks with the lemon-oil dressing.
  4. Chop 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes and 1/2 cup cucumber (seeded if desired). Add to the leeks and toss gently.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (halved) and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
