👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Prepare the vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Dice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion into very small, uniform cubes (about 0.5 cm or 1/4 inch). For the tomatoes, you can remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salad, but it's not essential. Aim for a consistent, fine dice across all ingredients for the best texture and visual appeal.

Combine the diced vegetables in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Gently toss them together to distribute evenly.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and dried mint. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
⏱️ 2 minutes

Dress the salad: Pour the lime and mint dressing over the diced vegetables. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are lightly coated. Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
