Cucumber Salad

I put the OXO swivel peeler to the test and made a cucumber salad, shaving an English cucumber lengthwise into wide ribbons and adding the juice of a lemon, some olive oil, chopped mint, salt, and pepper. Attacking the cucumber with the peeler was easy, and the result was crisp and refreshing.

At $5.99, it's not a major investment to buy a gadget like this. Time to test that Messermeister serrated swivel peeler . . .
