Instructions

Cucumber salad with mint and parsley sauce instructions

Take fresh cucumbers and if the skin is too hard, peel them and then cut off the tips. Now with a potato peeler, a mandolin cutter or a very sharp knife, cut out many very thin and light slices.
Prepare the sauce by blending olive oil with balsamic vinegar, salt, sugar and a small clove of garlic. Add mint and parsley leaves and blend again until the sauce is smooth and bright green. Taste and adjust with more salt or vinegar if necessary.
Place each strip of cucumber on a serving plate. Decorate everything with the prepared sauce then add croutons and chopped almonds. Serve immediately.
