I just had too many cucumbers that had been sitting for a while, nearing the end of their lives. I found this recipe that worked pretty well and decided to keep it for variety. What makes it fancy is that the cucumber has been cut with a potato peeler. What makes it tasty is the dressing! Credits for the inspiration go to a post made by Mpourek at sintagespareas.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 big cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon mint
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- sea salt or salt and pepper
How to make: Blend all the ingredients until they are well combined. Peel and discard the skin of the cucumber. Now use the peeler to create long strips of cucumber. Put in a serving dish and add the sauce on top.
Notes and tips: For this recipe, I used dry spices (mint and ginger), but, of course, it’s better to use fresh.
