Chapter 251: Aftermath 2
"A bit thinner. Like this." Ravi showed Asher as he continued to slice the cucumbers on the board. When he was done, he began to slice the cherry tomatoes, the red onions, and dills.
"Do you know what, how about you carry that bowl and here..." He took out some peanut butter, "Have a snack, watch a movie. Just relax."
Asher’s hand that was reaching the basket of cherry tomatoes paused and then he chuckled. He took a handful and scurried out of the kitchen.
If Asher continued to eat the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, he had a feeling that there would be nothing left. He took out two of the biggest mixing bowls he had and poured the sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onions with dill together and mixed them before adding some crumbled feta cheese.
He needed to go to the market soon; this feta cheese was the only cheese remaining in the fridge. He would have gone over but there was the possibility that his fridge even though empty would be ten times more bountiful than Malik’s.
In a separate small bowl, Ravi whisked some olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, a bit of sugar, and salt. He tasted it and then added a little red wine vinegar before he poured the dressing all over the cucumber mixture and tossed gently to cover the cucumbers and tomatoes completely, He then added some toasted sunflower seeds that he had bought for snacks.
After tossing it, he covered it and kept it in the refrigerator.
The second part of the sliced cucumbers had been salted and covered for five minutes. It was not yet time so Ravi went outside to get some green onions. The green onions were not on the farm but in small pots hanging on the balcony.
He used the hanging scissors to chop the amount he would need and returned inside. He sliced them up and the red onions for some color. He mixed everything, adding a quarter cup of toasted sesame seeds.
