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.
