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

Instructions

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!
