  2. 2Transfer the finely cut cucumber into a wooden bowl.
  3. 3Lay the bell pepper on its stem side, work around its lungs, make thin strips, and then run your knife through them until they are nice and fine.
  4. 4Carefully remove the stem area from the tomatoes and repeat the dicing process.
  5. 5For a couple of the lemons, slice off the thickest parts, make regular slices, and then run your knife through them, including the peel and the white part.
  6. 6For the other half of the lemons, remove the peel.

Tips
