Cool Cucumber & Capsicum Salad

After a binge weekend, it is always wonderful to start your week on a fresh, healthy note - drive those blues

away with some light and fresh salad! Opened my refrigerator to find some slender, fresh European cucumbers and green capsicum and thought why not mix the two - combining coolness of the cucumbers with the crispy, spicy flavours of capsicum on a warm afternoon seems simply perfect! Usually this recipe combines only cucumbers and capsicum, I had a few cherry tomatoes and decided to throw in some for a dash of colour and tang.

Here's what you can do:
