Step 1
Dice cucumber and tomato into roughly 3/4-inch chunks; place in a serving bowl.
Step 2
Tear mint leaves by hand (not chopped—tearing keeps them fragrant) and add to the bowl.
Step 3
Squeeze lime juice over the vegetables, then drizzle with olive oil and salt.
Step 4
Toss gently until everything is coated and vegetables are dressed but still crisp.
Step 5
Serve immediately—this is best eaten fresh, within 10 minutes of dressing.
