Fresh summer salad with mint and veggies
Summer salad with mint and three veggies is a lively, easy and super quick side dish for lunch or dinner full of color and freshness! A mix of cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions together with the simple sauce with olive oil and fresh mint. It is a vegetarian side dish but also an ideal condiment or appetizer for hot summer days. Few ingredients full of bold flavour. I recommend pairing this salad with fish or white meat. Try using them to garnish burgers, tacos or wraps. Also they are excellent as a single portion appetizer on top of crunchy chips or spiced crackers.

Instructions
Instructions fresh summer salad with mint and veggies
- The secret of this salad is to cut the veggies into small dice. Vegetables cut this way mix their flavors quickly while maintaining their freshness and crunchiness.
- Cut the three vegetables into small cubes about half a centimeter large and place them in a salad bowl.
- Add chopped mint leaves and salt to taste. Mix the extra virgin olive oil with the lemon juice and some brown or white sugar. Pour the sauce over the prepared vegetables and mix thoroughly.
- Place your fresh salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors blend. Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice and serve.
