FARM MARKET CUCUMBER SALAD WITH CAVIAR

Dressing recipe from foodandwine.com

INGREDIENTS
About 5 kirby/pickling cucumbers from your local Farmer’s Market
1 tbs plus 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
Fresh thyme leaves, to taste
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Tsar Nicoulai Caviar (here we used Tsar Nicoulai Reserve)

METHOD:
1. Peel cucumbers and then cut into ribbons with vegetable peeler and put in a bowl, set aside.
2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the honey and thyme. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add ingredients to taste (more lemon juice, honey, olive oil etc)
3. Add dressing a little at a time to the cucumbers and toss until desired amount of dressing is added (you probably won’t use all the dressing)
4. Transfer cucumber ribbons to a serving dish, top with Tsar Nicoulai Caviar
