Lay out your salad leaves and scatter chopped cucumber, red onion, gherkin and tomato all over. I use around a third of the amount of gherkin as cucumber, but you want a good mixture of vinegar-ey-ness with the fresh salad
Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, and torn up fresh mint leaves. Some salt & pepper; and you have the perfect salad to go with chicken, fish, pork chops etc
