Cucumber Salad (aka Granny Salad) Recipe

Ingredients

1tsp caster sugar
1tsp warm water
3tbsp cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
2 – 4spring onions, chopped finely
½ tsp organic traditional sea salt
2tsp dill herb organic or fresh

Method

  1. Firstly, peel the skin off the cucumber and then slice very finely into thin rounds of fresh cucumber. Place these on a plate so that you can see the tops of all the slices of cucumber, then sprinkle over some sea salt and leave.
  2. Now make the sweetened vinegar, by first dissolving the sugar in warm water and then adding this to the cider vinegar. Stir it up thoroughly.
  3. Chop the dill herb ( you can use fresh or dried) up finely and then the spring onions.
