Ingredients

• 2 large English cucumber
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer (although leaving the skin on adds a nice crunch and additional fiber).

Step 2

Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices.

Step 3

Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander, and sprinkle them with salt. Toss gently to ensure even coating.

Step 4

Let the cucumbers sit in the colander over the sink or a bowl for about 10 minutes to let excess water drain.

Step 5

Meanwhile, finely chop the fresh dill and chives, and set them aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine coconut cream, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, and the chopped dill and chives. Stir well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Once the cucumbers have drained, pat them dry with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.

Step 9

Gently fold the cucumbers into the prepared dressing until all slices are evenly coated.

Step 10

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh dill and chives if you like.

Step 11

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled version.
