Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium cucumbers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, chilled

1 cup chopped watercress (optional)
1 cup roughly chopped dill or mint

Steps:

  • Peel cucumbers, then cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Slice cucumbers as thinly as possible (a mandoline is ideal for this). Mix them in a bowl with 2 teaspoons salt and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
