Cucumber Side Salad

The perfect little side dish

• Never let that cucumber go to waste again!

Slicing or Dicing?

Most people slice the cucumber I think and it’s easier to pick out that way … but on the other hand it’s also got more surface so if it is in Lettuce Salad and someone’s not mad about it it is rubbing off more of your leaves.

Each to their own on this one - my fave is to peel the cucumber and drag a fork down the sides so that when I slice it there is a frilly edge to the slice. I also don’t worry about cutting the slice very thin - to me that’s the wet handshake of the cucumber world.

• Cucumber

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

• 2 tablespoons water

• 1 desert spoon sugar

• A few twists of Salt and Pepper

• If you have Dill - use it!

Slice the cucumber and leave to sit in the mixture. Tossing it regularly to ensure it all has time to infuse.
