Cucumber Mint Salad With Goat Cheese - cooking recipe

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
Preparation
    Combine cucumbers, mint, garlic (if using fresh), green onion, and cheese in a bowl.
    Combine olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and salt (if using) in a screw top jar. Shake until well combined. Pour over salad.
    Enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
    Note: excellent with pita crisps.
    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!
