Preparation Steps
- Finely chop the red onion into small, even pieces; this should take about 5 minutes.
- Slice the ends off the Persian cucumbers, halve them lengthwise, and chop into thin strips, aiming for ¼ inch thick pieces; this takes around 5 minutes.
- Halve the Roma tomatoes, remove the seeds, and chop into small cubes, roughly ½ inch; this should take about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, squeeze the juice from the Persian limes or lemon until you have about 5 tablespoons of fresh juice. Add salt, pepper, and crushed dried mint, whisking until combined; this takes around 2 minutes.
- In a larger bowl, combine the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion, gently mixing them with a spatula for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the lemon dressing over the mixed vegetables and gently toss until well coated; this should take around 1-2 minutes.
- Just before serving, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad and toss once more to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, keeping the dressing separate until serving to maintain crispness.
