Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice or verjuice, olive oil (if using), dried mint, salt and pepper.
Rinse vegetables and pat dry with paper towel. If using fresh herbs, rinse and put them through a salad spinner before chopping. If cucumber skin is thick, it can be peeled to leave alternate strips on it.
Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into 1/4 inch pieces. Chop the herbs finely.
Place chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and herbs in a large salad bowl.
Drizzle salad dressing on vegetables. Toss well and adjust seasoning as per taste. Serve chilled preferably.
