Cool cucumber salad

As the summer is approaching (and as I am currently in hot and humid Singapore), I decided to have a light and refreshing salad for lunch. This would go well as a side dish at a BBQ and because of the soothing effect of the cucumber it would be perfect companion for (very) spicy dishes.

Ingredients
(Serves 1 - 22 cal)
- 125g cucumber, sliced thinly
- fresh coriander leaves, shopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 red pepper, sliced
- fresh mint leaves, to garnish

Directions
Slice the cucumber thinly and place in a bowl or a plate and place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour or until serving.

To make the dressing, mix together the lemon juice, chopped coriander leaves, salt and sugar.

When ready to serve, take out the cucumber, pour over the dressing just before serving and garnish with stripes of red pepper and mint leaves.
