Spread the love

Ingredients for 3 servings:

  • 1 cucumber(s)
  • 1 tsp salt, black, e.g. Hawaiian salt or pit salt)
  • ½ tsp pepper (Muntok-), or other white pepper from the mill
  • 1 shot of pumpkin seed oil
  • 2 shots of balsamic vinegar, red
  • 1 bunch of dill
  • 1 pinch(s) of sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Peel the cucumber, preferably in whole strips, and slice it with a serrated knife. This looks better and prevents the cucumber slices from sticking together. Wrap 3 peel strips around spoon handles and freeze. Pluck and finely chop 2 dill sprigs, toss with the oil, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and salt. Place the cucumber slices in a bowl, spread the dressing evenly over them, and let it chill for about 1 hour. Arrange the salad in a central position on plates and garnish with the excess dressing, the peel spirals, and the remaining dill sprigs.
