Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

6 large tomatoes, peeled and cut into large dice
2 small cucumbers, peeled and cut into large dice
2 large sweet red onions, cut into very small dice
3-4 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
6 tbsp black olives, chopped
2 tbsp black olive paste
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Put all the vegetables into a large bowl and mix them together gently. Mix in the parsley and then add the olives and stir again.
Make the dressing by combining the black olive paste, lemon juice and olive oil. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more olive oil, and mix thoroughly.
Pour the dressing over the salad. The juices from the vegetables should help to loosen the dressing. Mix thoroughly and serve at once with a crusty bread.
