Marinated Cucumber

We don't always get excited about cucumber, because it isn't always served to its best advantage. This refreshing salad takes just a few minutes to put together, but does a cucumber full justice.

Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• handful of mint or coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• a pinch of sugar
• salt & pepper (for seasoning)

Method:

1. Peel the cucumber, halve it length ways & scoop out the seeds.
2. Slice into thick half moons. Place in a dish along with the vinegar, olive oil, mint or the coriander leaves & season it with salt, sugar & pepper. Toss together thoroughly.
3. Leave for 15 minutes & serve.
