Cucumber and tomato salad with mint dressing

English cucumber is one of my favorite,is sweeter and have thinner skin than other varieties of  cucumber and they are nearly seedless.It's remind me a type of cucumber in Asian country.
I use them so often to make this Indonesian acar timun  very simple salad and perfect pair with any fried rice dishes.
But in this cucumber and tomatoes salad,I try to mixed things up with other herb that I'm not familiar with,like "mint" I don't use mint much on my cooking.

Ingredients :
- 1 English cucumber
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 red onion

dressing :
- 1 tbsp basil and sun dried tomato seasoned oil/ olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tbsp chopped mint

( whisk all ingredients together until combine)

Preparations :
cut cucumber into cube/ bite size,cut cherry tomato in half,thinly slice red onion
In the mixing bowl pour salad dressing toss and mix them together.
