Notes
- This refreshing salad is perfect for hot summer days. It’s hydrating, crunchy, and slightly sweet with a citrusy kick.
- Pomegranate arils add antioxidants, while cucumbers are great for skin and hydration.
- Fresh mint brings brightness and a cooling effect—ideal for BBQs, potlucks, or as a light side dish.

Time-Saving Tips
- Pre-sliced veggies: Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the cucumber and red onion in seconds.
- Pre-purchased arils: Buy pomegranate arils ready-to-go instead of seeding a whole one.
- Prep ahead: Make the salad the night before and chill—flavors deepen by the next day.
- Mint shortcut: Use kitchen shears to snip mint directly into the bowl instead of chopping.
