2-Minute Zingy Minty Cucumber Slices

After enjoying Buckingham Palace Garden Party Cucumber Sandwiches the other day, I decided to jazz up some cucumbers instead of making the sandwiches by using the same spices I used. Feel free to use chopped fresh mint leaves, I prefer the taste and texture of dried mint.

• Ready In: 2 mins
• Serves: 2
• Yields: 2

Ingredients

• 1  cucumber, sliced into rounds
• 2  teaspoons dried mint
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. Mix the dry spices together.
2. Wash and cut the cucumber and put the slices into the bowl-- don't pat them dry or anything; leave them wet so it can pick up the seasoning.
3. Pour the seasoning mix onto the cucumber slices and toss around in the bowl so they each get plenty of the mix.
4. They're ready to eat! About 2 generously-sized servings that are great for a lunch or snack side dish.
