Cucumber Salad with Mint

Salads are my favourites and the meal becomes somehow incomplete without them. If you don't have many vegetables in your fridge, then this cucumber salad would be a right choice ! Its very simple and easy to make, gives a rich aromatic flavour of the mint together with its different dressing.

Ingredients
Cucumbers(small) - 5
Fresh mint leaves(very finely chopped) - 1/4 cup
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
sunflower or any vegetable oil - 80 ml
Orange blossom water - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/4 tsp

Preparation
1. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and mix it with the chopped mint.
2. For the dressing, in a separate small bowl, mix together lemon juice, oil, orange blossom water and pepper.
3. Pour the dressing over the cucumber-mint and mix thoroughly.

4. Serve !

Tips: 
1. You can also use dried mint leaves and large cucumber. But before making the salad, soak the cucumber slices in salt water for half an hour to remove the bitterness.
2. If you do not have orange blossom water, mix 2 or 3 drops of orange essence in 2 tablespoons of water and then use it.
