• 1/2 a bunch of spearmint finely chopped
• 70-100gr of crushed weed (pligouri)
• Juice from 3 lemons
• 4 fresh onions finely chopped
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

• Place the crushed weed (pligouri) in a large enough bowl, pour water to cover it and set aside soaking for about 5 hours.
• After soaking for 5 hours, strain and place on a kitchen towel to absorb part of the water.
• Place in a salad bowl, add the chopped parsley, chopped spearmint, the onions and tomatoes and mix well.
• In a jar with a lid, add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and shake well to mix all ingredients.
• Or you can add all the ingredients in a small bowl, and with a fork you mix them up well.
• Pour the oil, lemon mixture over the salad and stir well for the mixture to blend in with the salad ingredients.
• You can dress up your salad bowl with lettuce leafs all around and have the Tambouli salad in the middle.
