3 Tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable oil

1 1/2 Tbsp white wine vinegar

2 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp chopped dill

4 Tbsp chives

splash of lemon juice

1 tsp salt

Peel the cucumber. Use a mandolin slicer and cut the cucumber into fine, thin slices.  Place slices in a colander to drain our any water for a few minutes.  

In a separate bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, whipping cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sugar.  Mix thoroughly.  Cut your washed dill and chives.  Add the herbs to the dressing and mix again.  Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and mix.
