Cucumber salad with cream and garlic

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 cucumbers
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 10 ml soy sauce
• 200 g cream
• 15 ml red wine vinegar
• 15 ml corn germ oil
• Salt and pepper, white
• some chives
• possibly seasoning

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

according to my grandma’s recipe

Peel the cucumbers, cut into 3 to 4 millimeter slices, and place in a colander. Salt the cucumbers and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the garlic and press it into a salad bowl. Add the mustard, soy sauce, a little salt or seasoning, and pepper. Top up with cream, vinegar, and oil. Squeeze the cucumbers with your hands and then add them to the salad. Mix everything thoroughly and let stand for 40 minutes. Wash the chives, pat dry, cut into rolls, and add to the salad. Mix everything again and season to taste. Tip: This salad dressing is also suitable for leaf salads such as lettuce, iceberg lettuce, or lamb’s lettuce. Half the amount is then sufficient for a well-filled salad bowl. For lamb’s lettuce, it is recommended to omit the chives.
