Cucumbers Calypso

If using organic cucumbers, simply scrub well. If using conventionally grown, peel them.

2 medium cucumbers
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 red bell pepper, julienned
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper

Halve the cucumbers lengthwise, and then slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. Toss with sea salt in large bowl and let stand 20 minutes. Drain cucumbers and pat dry with a clean towel. Return to bowl and add peppers, lime juice and garlic. Toss to combine, cover tightly and marinate for up to 2 hours. Season to taste with fresh ground pepper before serving.
