I loved this little dish. It's clean, fresh, pretty, and in season. Oh, and even better... simple. I came up with the idea the other day. I used my mandoline to get strands of cucumber to cut into juliennes (cheating? no, just a shortcut). But in the process I realized that the long strands could be like a vegetarian noodle substitute. For some reason I pair cucumber and tomatoes together almost synonymously. The mint was infused into the tomato juices for the gelee for an added freshness. Finish it all off with a simple lemon vinaigrette with some fine olive oil, fleur de sel, and a sprig of micro basil. Beautiful...
