2 long European-type cucumbers
2 pints strawberries, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or paprika
2 tablespoons hazelnut or alternative oil
Peel the cucumbers and cut them crosswise into two
or three pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise into four
sections and arrange the wedges in a pattern on a
large salad plate. Remove the leaves and core from
the strawberries and slice each one in half from cap
to tip. Arrange in a decorative pattern between the
cucumber wedges. Whisk together the lemon juice, orange
juice, mint, cayenne or paprika and oil until emulsified.
Pour over the salad just before serving. Preparation
time 15-20 minutes. This recipe serves 6.
