CUCUMBERS IN MINT VINAIGRETTE RECIPE



Cucumbers in mint vinaigrette Recipe image

Some people may be put off by the time it can take to cut up vegetables. Not so with this fresh cucumber salad if you use a mandoline or hand-slicer. Set the blade to the thinnest setting, and it will just take minutes to make uniform slices.In the procedure, salting the cucumbers draws out the water, making them limp. I like to let the cucumbers chill a bit before serving to develop plenty of flavor. Go ahead and help yourself to a generous serving; the calories are few and the fat almost nonexistent.
