Step 1
Start by chopping the grape tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Toss them into a big bowl along with some chopped green onions and fresh cilantro. Add a handful of chopped mint leaves for a nice, refreshing kick. Squeeze in some lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good mix so all the flavors come together. Let it sit for a few minutes if you can, so the flavors meld nicely before serving.
