Strawberry Cucumber Salad If you are already missing the red in salads try this one. With the OXO hand-held slicer a whole lot of thin cukes are ready in no time. (A paring knife is probably a safer way to slice the berries.) Recipe follows. Strawberry Cucumber Salad 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 1 teaspoon powdered sugar 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced. 8 ounces strawberries, hulled freshly ground pepper In a small bowl, combine mint and powdered sugar. Using wooden spoon, pound mint to draw out flavoring oils. Add vinegar and olive and whisk. Add cucumber and marinate up to 2 hours. Just before serving slice strawberries by placing berry point up on board and slice. Layer cumbers and strawberries add remaining dressing to taste, add pepper. (Thanks again, to Colorado Cache.) |
