I created this recipe using Noa cucumbers from my own garden. They're smaller than regular cucumbers, with delicate thin skin and a much finer flavor. I pair them with horseradish and fresh mint for the perfect summer starter.

servings

1 beautiful Noa cucumber
1 tablespoon freshly grated horseradish
0.3 cup (8 cl) organic liquid cream, 30 % fat
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
A few fresh mint leaves from the garden, finely chopped
A few slices of garden radish for garnish
Fine sea salt

Step-by-step recipe

1 Rinse your cucumbers, dry them, and slice them thinly with the skin on. Place them in a salad bowl, sprinkle with fine sea salt, and refrigerate covered for 1 hour.

2 In another bowl, pour the vinegar, add salt, then mix in the horseradish and cream. Drain your cucumber slices and blend everything together with a spoon. Just before serving, add your freshly chopped mint.

3 Serve in a nice dish, surrounded with your radish slices and a beautiful bunch of mint. This dish works beautifully with smoked fish like tuna, trout, or salmon.
