  • This refreshing salad is perfect for hot summer days. It’s hydrating, crunchy, and slightly sweet with a citrusy kick.

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.
