Cucumber salad is a Summer staple, but all too often they can be sad and soggy. Marinating the cucumbers first in salt, sugar and lemon ensures they retain some of their refreshing crunch, and pouring over our easy Pawb dressing makes them alive with flavour.
For this recipe, it’s best if you zest your lemon first before marinating the cucumber as you’ll need the zest for the garlicky yogurt.
Ingredients
- For the cucumber
- 1 cucumber, halved, de-seeded and cut into irregular 1.5cm slices
- ½ red onion, finely sliced
- ½ tsp caster sugar
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- Handful parsley, roughly chopped – a few whole leaves left for garnish
- To finish
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Zest of an unwaxed lemon
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 250g Greek yoghurt
- 4 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Pawb
Method
- Toss the cucumber with the onion, sugar, salt and lemon juice and set aside for 15 minutes while you prepare the rest.
- Stir the yoghurt together with the garlic, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the yoghurt on a platter. Stir the parsley through the cucumber and lift the cucumber out of the bowl it’s marinating in with a slotted spoon, discarding any juices left in the bowl. Arrange the cucumber mixture over the yogurt.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan until it shimmers. Add the Pawb to the hot oil, immediately remove from the heat and pour over the cucumbers. Scatter over the reserved parsley and serve with flatbreads.
