Peel the cucumber, cut off the ends, slice it into thirds, remove the seeds, and cut into sticks.

Remove the seeds and stem from the bell pepper, and cut it into small strips.

5

Remove the green tops from the strawberries and cut them into quarters.

6

Grate the zest from the orange, avoiding the white part to prevent bitterness.

Grate the zest from the lime, using a finer grater than for the orange.

Segment the orange by removing the peel and cutting out the segments.

9

Chop the green onions and add them to the bowl.
