I'm not usually a cucumber person but I really like this recipe.

SERVES 2 -3

• 1 large cucumber, peeled,halved lengthwise,seeded,thinly sliced
• 1/2 green capsicum, cored,seeded and cut in half lengthwise
• 1/3 cup pitted and coarsely chopped green olives
• 4 large fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
• salt & freshly ground black pepper

Toss the cucumber in a salad bowl with the green pepper, olives, and mint.

Add the coriander, paprika, olive oil, and vinegar, season with salt and pepper,

toss again, and serve.
