Ingredients
- 1 medium cucumber
- 100 ml vinegar (Danish Heidelberg suggested)
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 100 ml water
- Chopped chives (optional) or dill (optional)
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
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.
