- peel the cucumber, and split it in       half lengthwise
 
                      - using a spoon, scrape out the seeds
 
                      - chop into large pieces and blend (on       liquefy) until very, very, smooth
 
                      - chop a few large fronds of fresh dill       into ¼ inch long pieces
 
                      - sprinkle in Kosher salt (adjust to taste - start with a little only)
 
                      - grind some black pepper into the       mixture (adjust to taste - start with only a little)
 
                      - add in the chopped dill fronds
 
                      - add ¾ teaspoon of the Xanthan gum
 
                      - blend only briefly, in short bursts,       so you do not liquefy the dill fronds
 
                      - let the dressing sit for at least an       hour in the refrigerator, so the dill has time to release its flavor
 
                  
                    
note: In  both the cucumber lime and cucumber dill recipes it is important that the  cucumber be blended until very smooth so the dressing does not have a grainy  texture.
