Ingredients
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 egg yolk
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 large seedless cucumber, peeled
- 3 or 4 radishes
- 1/2 lb. smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pint fresh sprouts for garnish
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the garlic, lime juice and egg yolk and process in short pulses until smooth. With the motor running, add the oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream until smooth and blended. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the lime aioli to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Using a mandoline or vegetable slicer, slice the cucumber crosswise into slices 1/4 inch thick to make about 30 pieces. Slice the radishes into paper-thin slices to make about 30 pieces.
- To assemble, lay the cucumber slices out on a clean serving tray or platter, place a small amount of aioli on each slice and decoratively arrange a piece of smoked salmon over the aioli. Garnish with a piece of shaved radish and a few sprouts. Cover loosely and refrigerate until ready to serve.
