Description

A simple combo of tangy lemon juice, fresh mint and fresh veggies. Aka the perfect summer salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Persian cucumbers
  • 4 medium Roma tomatoes, firm
  • ½ medium Red onion
  • 1 medium Lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp Dried mint leaves
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • Handful of fresh mint, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the cucumbers, tomatoes and onion into little cubes. The goal is to have them as uniform as possible, but essentially you want them small enough that you can get each veggie in the same bite. 
  2. Add the chopped veggies into a large salad bowl, pour over the lemon juice, along with the dried mint leaves, olive oil, salt and fresh mint. Toss to mix and adjust for salt.
  3. Serve immediately.

Notes

*If you don’t have fresh mint, 1 Tbsp of dried mint leaves works just as well.
