Cucumber, kiwi and onion may seem like a strange combination but they work surprisingly well together. They’re sliced thinly, dressed with a little good olive oil, crunchy Maldon salt and fresh basil leaves for a blast of summer flavours.

Ingredients

• 20 slices cucumber
• 20 slices kiwi, gold
• 10 slices white onion
• ¼ pc lemon
• 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
• 10 leaves basil
• Maldon salt
• black pepper

Instructions

• Slice the onions thinly using a mandoline.
• Soak the onions in cold water for about 5 minutes.



• Clean the cutting board, and slice the cucumber and kiwi into thin slices.
• To serve, layer the kiwi and cucumber on the plate by overlapping each piece. Drizzle evenly with olive oil and season with a little Maldon salt and black pepper. Zest the lemon and squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over the plate. Drain the onions on paper towel and spread them around the plate with the fresh basil leaves. Enjoy right away.
