  • 2 medium green tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

  • Ice

Method

  1. Blend green tomatoes, cucumber, mint, lime juice, jalapeno, water, and salt.

Fresh Mint Tip

Mint softens green tomato's sharpness, so use a full handful rather than a garnish-only amount.
