These Oysters with Cucumber and Mint Vinaigrette recipe is simple to prepare and absolutely delicious to eat. I discovered this fabulous dish when visiting Ponta Dos Gonchos, located on a tiny island off Brazil called Florianopolis. Talented Chef Luis Salvajoli served the most wonderful seafood throughout our stay, with a flair for combining unique, always fresh ingredients.
