English cucumber salad with balsamic vinaigrette (Diabetic)

Ingredients:

For the dressing
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 English cucumber with peel, washed and thinly sliced
Cracked black pepper, to taste

Method:

In a small saucepan, add the rosemary, vinegar and olive oil. Heat over very low
heat to blend and intensify the flavors, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the mustard until well blended.
In a serving bowl, add the cucumber slices. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers
and toss to coat evenly. Add the black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Helpful Hints:

Dietitian's tip:
English cucumbers, also referred to as "burpless" cucumbers, tend to be long and
narrow and have a mild taste. Though the English cucumber works best in this recipe, you can use any variety of cucumber.
