Cucumber With Goat Cheese Recipe
Recipe Ingredients

Recipe Preparation
This ultra-simple entree depends absolutely on the quality of its
ingredients. The cucumbers must be at their peak, the goat cheese
the best you can buy and the oil hazelnut if possible but, in any
case, a well-flavoured nut oil. As hazelnut oil can be difficult to
find, you could substitute a walnut or macadamia nut oil.
Score 750 g of cucumbers lengthwise with the tines of a fork or peel
them if you prefer. Slice paper thin, put in a colander, sprinkle
with salt and let them degorge for half an hour.
Turn out of the colander, rinse and dry with paper towels. In a bowl
toss the slices with 50 mL lemon juice, then arrange them on six
plates. Dust with white pepper.
Cut about 100 to 120 g firm goat cheese into thin slices and arrange
two or three on each plate. Sprinkle 50 mL of hazelnut oil over the
six servings.
Makes 6 servings.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIf you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The case against low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Cutting out carbs might mean missing out on essential nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those provied by grains, vegetables and fruits.
Scientific studies over the last few years have illustrated that eating excess animal fats can lead to greater risk of cancer, heart problems and other serious conditions.
Lycopene rich foods
(includes apricots, red bell peppers & tomato puree)
The phytochemical lycopene is a simple compound used to color foods and part of the carotenid family. This chemical is accountable for the dark red color of a good number of fruit, vegetables and pulses.
Fortunately, unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is noticeably enhanced by being cooked.
. Its most interesting nutritional contribution is that it behaves as an antioxidant and appears to help lower the risk of cancer.
Lycopene is the most potent fighter of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis.
