 1 tsp dill weed
 1 tbsp minced shallot
 ½ tsp lemon zest
 ½ tsp lemon juice
 1 tsp chopped mint leaves
 salt and pepper to taste

Peel some of the cucumber, leaving some peel for color and crunch. Slice the cucumber lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Chop the cucumber into 1/4-1/2 inch dice. Put in a medium mixing bowl.

Chop the shallot and mint, add those to the bowl.

Zest the lemon, measure 1/2 teaspoon of the zest and then slice and squeeze the lemon, adding the zest and 1 teaspoon of juice to the bowl.
