Cucumber and Lavender Salad image

This lovely salad would be wonderful on a bed of heirloom oak leaf lettuce with a bit of the vinaigrette drizzled over all. Recipe is an adapted one from California restauranteur and cookbook author Jesse Cool.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large organic cucumber, very thinly sliced
1 organic red onion
1/2 organic red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh lavender
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, onion, and bell pepper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, lavender, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  • Kitchen tips: If you like, peel the cucumbers, and if you want a less watery salad, seed the cucumbers by running the tip of a teaspoon down the center.
