Cucumbers - Quick & Fresh

Thursday June 28, 2007
Cucumber salads are often part of the traditional first course in a French meal. They usually incorporate only a few carefully chosen ingredients tossed together in an effortless yet beautiful mélange. Good quality products must be used because of the elegant simplicity of the dish. When so few flavors stand out, they must be absolutely delicious. White wine vinegar, a sprinkle of salt, and a dusting of sugar enhance the refreshing taste of cool, green Cucumber Dilled Salad. Serve it with a light fruit spritzer.
