It’s that time of year when the veggie patch harvest has reached glut proportions. This is a summer/autumn favourite in our house – particularly with the small man. We use our homegrown honey and chilli flakes (dried in the sun) and Apple Cider Vinegar as it is so good for you, but I’m sure a wine vinegar would work equally well, if that’s what you’ve got in the pantry!
Approx 900g cucumbers
1tbsp honey
80g vinegar
Sprinkle of chilli flakes, depending on your love for the hot stuff!
Place honey and vinegar in a large bowl and mix well. Add Chilli flakes to taste. Skin and chop cucumbers into rough cubes and place in bowl. Mix thoroughly, coating the cukes with the dressing. Then (and this is crucial!) place in fridge for a few hours before serving. This lets the cucumber juice release and the flavours of the marinade to intensify and permeate the cukes. Sitr again before serving – enjoy!
