Delicious salad. Used local cucumbers (not kirby), and inner leaves of lettuce, and no mint. Pretty presentation and lovely flavors.
A superb use for in-season tomatoes from the farmers market or your garden! We made a few modifications based on preference: skipped the red onion and used Persian cucumbers and arugula instead of Kirby and green leaf, respectively. Delicious!!
Very good - had only “Mexican tarragon” and it was fine in the salad. Friends and family loved it and serving in a leaf-lined bowl was a nice touch.
