To Make the Salad
  1. Wash, dry and chop your cucumber, then add them to a mixing bowl.
  2. Wash, dry and dice your tomatoes, bell peppers and red onion.
  3. Add them to the mixing bowl with the cucumbers. Add in the chopped mint as well. Pour the dressing over the top. Toss to combine, then serve.

Notes

  • If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead.
  • If you use regular cucumbers, be sure to peel them first.  Another great option are Persian cucumbers.
  • You can use any combination of colors for your tomatoes and bell peppers.  I like to use a variety, as they are visually appealing.
  • If you don't like mint, you can use fresh chopped parsley instead.  The mint really does add great flavor, so I highly recommend using it.
