COOL as a CUCUMBER Salad

Mediterranean style, this dish is EASY TO MAKE and sure to please on a summer day!

1 "english" cucumber(may be peeled or not), sliced (I like to alternate a peeled line with the skin all the way around, looks good sliced);

 or 1 regular cucumber, peeled, sliced lengthwise and de-seeded with a spoon, then sliced.

5-6 Plum tomatoes, sliced

1/2 onion sliced

5-6 FRESH Basil Leaves, rolled and JULIENNED (French term for "Sliced Finely")

DRESSING

1-2 small cloves Garlic,  smashed and diced FINE
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 TBS  Olive Oil
2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar


For the dressing, add all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix briskly until EMULSIFIED (well-blended).

Add all the Veggies and Basil and toss to blend the dressing.  Let sit for at least 20 Minutes.

ENJOY with Any Grilled  meat item, and some grilled zucchini/summer squash!
