Cooking at home

If I don' t want to spend much time on cooking I prepare a tasty and fresh salad. First of all I wash the ingredients like tomatoes; cucumber; green, red and yellow pepper (if I like I take _Turkish green pepper which is very hot) and fresh green onions. After draining I cut _cucumber, _ tomatoes and _ pepper into small pieces and chop _ green onions. If I want I can add canned corn and kidney beans. To prepare the dressing I use_olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Italian balsamic vinegar, a little bit salt and pepper. After having mixed all the ingredients in a big bowl I put some fresh chopped parsley on top of the salad. This dish is healty and doesn' t have many calories. The preparation doesn't take much time ;-)

Great work, and sounds delicious!

Olive oil is natural ))

After draining I cut the cucumber, the tomatoes and the pepper into small pieces and chop the green onions. If I want I can add canned corn and kidney beans. To prepare the dressing I use natural olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Italia n vinegar (balsamico) a little bit of salt and pepper.

Well done. You are right to put the definite article before the cucumber, tomatoes, etc., because you are referring back to the list you have already made of the ingredients. All my cookery books do the same.

Canned corn and kidney beans is a bit American (fine if that's what you want) but in England it would be more usual to say tinned corn, kidney beans, etc.

Otherwise, good work.
