Meatless Monday recipe of the week: Chile Cucumber Salad
We’ve been under a heat warning all weekend. Yuck. Time to chill out (if you haven’t already) and this cool cucumber salad is a great way to do it.
Locally, cucumbers are plentiful and cherry tomatoes are perfection right now. Have this salad with some gazpacho and bread, or just by its lonesome and you’ll stay cool until the heat breaks (finally).
Chile Cucumber Salad
4 cucumbers, cut in half seeded and sliced
1/2 basket cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon baby dill, chopped
1 tablespoon cilantro
Vinaigrette
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
Rainbow peppercorn
Chile seasoning
Whisk olive oil into lemon juice, rice wine vinegar and season to taste with salt and seasoning. Mix together cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, dill and cilantro. Mix with dressing and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
