How to Make

  • Step 1: Wash the cucumber and if the skin is tough, peel it. Slice thinly and place into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to spread the salt evenly, then place a heavy weight on top of the cucumber mix and leave for about 15 minutes.

  • Step 2: Meanwhile mix the vinegar, water and sugar together and season with a little pepper. The dressing should taste fairly sweet and not too sharp.

  • Step 3: Squeeze the cucumber in a cheesecloth (or drain very well) to remove all the liquid. Place the cucumber in a serving bowl and pour over the dressing. Leave for a half an hour in fridge before serving.

  • Step 4: Add chopped chives or dill before serving if using.
