Cucumber Salad with Mustard and Dill


From "The Whole Beast"


Very easy salad. Vinaigrette was very tasty, the mustard was present but not overwhelming. The the technique that was interesting which I had never heard of before was to toss the cucumbers in some salt and place them over a sieve; this would pull moisture out and make the cucumbers crunchier, plus it would salt them.

I think this salad is meant to be eaten with something else. I cannot see making a meal out of just cucumbers, tossed in a vinaigrette and dill.

  1. Back in Bocuse, the GM guy used to make something like this for family meal. But instead of vinaigrette, he'd mix cream and mustard. Delicious...
