Cucumber salad

My son is selective in what he eats.

Of course, french fries, rice or pasta will always have success. But it's always a challenge to me to make him taste vegetables.

He likes cucumber. So I use to cook this fast recipe.

You'll need :

  • Cucumber
  • Heavy cream (or semi heavy, if you prefer)
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Black olives, 
  • Salt and pepper.

Step 1 :
Cut your cucumber (I like to cut vegetables in a very geometric form, don't ask me why !)


Step 2 : 
Pour garlic, that you'll have crushed with a garlic press (or cut in small pieces).
After this salad, of course, don't open the mouth, you could kill a buffalo ! 
But you'll notice that, in a lot of Provençals recipes, there's garlic...
... We don't fear the buffalos at all ! 



 Add salt, pepper and black olives....



...The heavy cream.



And mix together. 


Cucumber is very light, only water. So you can use heavy cream without complex !
