A family favourite from my Welsh grandmother. 1 English Cucumber 2 tbsp chives (or more to taste) 1/2 cup of cream 1 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp olive oil salt and black pepper to taste 1/2 tbsp malt (or to taste) a few petals of edible flowers, such as pansies, marigolds or chive flowers Slice the cucumber thin. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and leave for one hour. Rinse and drain. Finely chop the chives - I use scissors to snip. Mix sugar with vinegar. Add cream, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss the cucumbers with the dressing and 1 tbsp of chives. Sprinkle the other tbsp of chives and the edible flowers on top for garnish; serve immediately. Contribution by Carol M.
