Cool as a Cucumber Part 2- How I Prepare a Cucumber Salad

 Ingredients:

2 cucumbers

2 cloves of garlic/ 1/4 onion (grated)

1 sprig of chives

1 sprig of parsely

salt to taste

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Method: The top of the cucumber is sliced off and the two pieces are rubbed together until cucumber water becomes a white froth (My grandmother used to do this). The cucumber is then sliced in a rotating method to produce spirals (My grandmother's friend taught me to do this). The chopped seasonings are added in with the salt and coconut oil. Let sit for a few minutes. The salt would draw the water out of the cucumbers. The watery goodness can be slurped after the cucumbers are all gone.

Rules of making Cucumber Salad:

1. Keep clean: Cucumbers are washed thoroughly to remove dirt and pesticides.
2. Keep healthy: Cucumbers are sliced with the skins on to benefit from essential phytonutrients.
3. Have fun: Cucumbers sliced in spirals are much more interesting than cucumber slices. Consider this a cucumber spaghetti!
