Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Peel the cucumbers, if desired, and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Adding Herbs

  1. 3

    Rinse the fresh mint leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop the mint leaves coarsely and add them to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers.

Preparing the Dressing

  1. 4

    In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the dressing together until well combined.

Combining Salad and Dressing

  1. 5

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the dressing evenly coats the tomatoes, cucumbers, and mint.

Serving

  1. 6

    Transfer the tomato, cucumber, and mint salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Enjoy immediately as a refreshing side dish!
