A cool, refreshing summer side. Ingredients:
2 english cucumbers, thinly sliced |
3 tablespoons mint, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic salt) |
1 green onion, thinly sliced |
70 g goat cheese, crumbled |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 dash black pepper |
salt, if using garlic cloves |
Directions:
1. Combine cucumbers, mint, garlic (if using fresh), green onion, and cheese in a bowl.
2. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and salt (if using) in a screw top jar. Shake until well combined. Pour over salad.
3. Enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
4. Note: excellent with pita crisps.
5. Note: When made for the blog, the dressing was omitted and only half the goat cheese was used (where most of the calories are hiding). Instead, I just used a light olive oil mist, which may not have been necessary. Cucumbers are plenty wet as it is!
