A Very Green Salad

This is a recipe I made last night; mint may not be an easy-to-get item in the grocery store, but it's taking over our herb garden and I wanted an excuse to cut a little of it out (one whole stem--wow!)
1 English cucumber (the kind that comes wrapped in plastic; you don't have to peel 'em)
A handful of snap peas
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 lime
A pinch of salt
Dice the cucumber. Mince the mint leaves. Mix cucumber, peas and mint and dress with lime juice and salt. Serve chilled.

And if you still have mint left over. . .
A few weeks ago they gave a bridal shower for my cousin. There was chopped mint in the fruit salad, which was very nice indeed.
