CUCUMBER SALAD
Cucumber is a vegetable with a high water content and is therefore relatively low in calories and carbohydrates. Try having cucumber with its peel which itself is a great source of fibre and many more nutrients. The fat free lemon juice and soya sauce dressing enhances this salad, especially when it is served chilled. Cooking Time : Nil. Preparation Time : 15 mins. Serves 4. Ingredients 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced 1 cup tomatoes, deseeded and cubed 1 cup spring onions, sliced To be mixed into a dressing ½ green chilli, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 teaspoon soya sauce a pinch sugar substitute juice of ½ lemon salt to taste Method 1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss the salad. 2. Serve immediately. Tips You can make large quantities of this dressing and refrigerate it till required. I often blend all the ingredients in a blender or grind them in a "silbatta" so that all the ingredients marry well. ------------- |
