This is extremely simple, no cooking required. But you do need really, really good produce.
Jean Marie's Summer Salad
(Ingredients per person, expand as needed)
1 pickle-sized (4-5 inches long) cucumber, peeled, cored (if desired) and sliced thin
4 to 6 fresh basil leaves, shredded
1 medium tomato, chopped
Rice wine vinegar (used a seasoned variety for extra sweetness)
Fresh ground pepper
Layer a bowl with cucumbers, then basil, then tomatoes. Drizzle with rice wine vinegar. Toss. Add fresh ground pepper to taste. Let sit five minutes and serve.

I can't do the tomato due to allergies, but it sounds delicious!

Thanks, X! This is actually a variation on a Thai cucumber garnish, so you can leave out the tomato or sub shredded carrots. If you want to try it that way, though, use the seasoned rice wine vinegar. Without the tomatoes, you really need the extra sweetness.
