Yield Makes 4 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 seedless cucumbers (usually plastic-wrapped; 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds total), peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest

Using slicer, cut each cucumber lengthwise into long 1/8-inch-thick julienne strips, slicing until you reach core, then rotate cucumber a quarter turn and continue slicing and rotating until left with nothing but core.
