CUCUMBERS WITH AJO BLANCO SAUCE
Think of this as an all-purpose garlic sauce. Once you get the hang of making it, try swapping cashews or blanched hazelnuts for the almonds.

Crisp cucumbers in a creamy and zesty garlic and almond sauce make for an easy and delicious Spanish side. The sauce is also wonderful with any proteins or other vegetables, and even as a salad dressing. Adapted from Bon Appétit.

Steps:
- Toss the sliced cucumbers with a generous pinch of salt and set aside.
- Toast the almond flour in a large skillet over medium high heat (this produces a better taste in the final product). It will brown slightly and smell nutty after about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave the almond flour, stirring after every 10 seconds or so to prevent burning until lightly golden.
- Add the toasted almond flour, vinegar, garlic cloves, avocado oil, and almond milk to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
- Drain any liquid from the cucumbers and toss with a bit more vinegar, if desired. Arrange on a serving plate and drizzle with the beaded sauce. Top with slivered almonds and serve.

AJO BLANCO WITH ALMOND, CUCUMBER AND WHITE ANCHOVY SALAD
This is our chef' son's recipe. He had it published in the Aus magazine Country Style. I'm posting it here so I can share it with my sister. It's delicious as a starter on a hot day. White anchovies and sherry vinegar are available from continental delicatessens and gourmet food shops, micro herbs can be ordered from fruit and veg shops. Overnight soaking of almonds hasn't been taken into account in prep time.

- Strain soup through a fine seive into a bowl taking care not to push the mixture through as this will result in a gritty soup. Discard the pulp.
