Mint, arugula and tomato salad is made with fresh mint, arugula and ripe tomatoes, usually dressed with olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Cucumber, red onion or crumbled feta can be added, though none is essential.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing suits mint, arugula and tomato salad best because it brightens the tomatoes without masking the herbs. Whisk the dressing separately and toss it through just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Keep mint, arugula and tomato salad crisp by drying the leaves thoroughly and adding the dressing only at serving time. Salt draws moisture from cut tomatoes, so add it at the last moment rather than letting the dressed salad sit.
Yes, baby spinach can replace arugula in mint, arugula and tomato salad, but the result will be milder and less peppery. Keep the fresh mint and add the dressing gradually so it does not overpower the softer leaves.
Ripe, firm tomatoes work best in mint, arugula and tomato salad because they bring sweetness and juice without falling apart when tossed. If using very juicy tomatoes, remove some of the watery seed centers to help the salad stay crisp.
You can prep the ingredients for mint, arugula and tomato salad ahead, but combine them and add dressing shortly before serving. Store the washed, thoroughly dried leaves separately from the cut tomatoes, which release liquid as they stand.
Mint, arugula and tomato salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, kebabs and roasted vegetables. Its fresh, peppery flavor also balances richer meals such as pasta or a cheese sandwich, and it can be served as a light lunch with bread.
Tear or roughly chop the mint for mint, arugula and tomato salad rather than crushing it finely. This releases its fragrance while keeping the leaves from bruising and turning dark; use tender stems if they are not woody.
Mint, arugula and tomato salad can fit a weight-loss meal because it is vegetable-forward and provides fiber that helps make a meal more filling. A generous pour of oil, creamy dressing or high-calorie toppings can change the overall balance.

Mint, arugula and tomato salad brings together fresh mint, peppery arugula and juicy tomato. It has no single fixed recipe, but draws on familiar Mediterranean ingredients and is easy to adapt to what is in season. The herbs give it a fragrant freshness, while ripe tomatoes soften arugula’s pleasantly sharp bite.
Serve it dressed simply with olive oil and lemon alongside grilled foods, beans or a larger lunch; it also works as a light side in warm-weather meals. The salad is low in calories and offers fibre, so it can add freshness without making a meal feel heavy. For a more substantial plate, pair it with chickpeas or bread.
