Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Dice cucumber and tomato into roughly 3/4-inch chunks; place in a serving bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Tear mint leaves by hand (not chopped—tearing keeps them fragrant) and add to the bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze lime juice over the vegetables, then drizzle with olive oil and salt.

  4. Step 4

    Toss gently until everything is coated and vegetables are dressed but still crisp.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately—this is best eaten fresh, within 10 minutes of dressing.
