Notes
Another of my favourites for the summer. Super easy to make, yet looks great and very tasty!!
This is one of my absolute favourite salads. Such a crowd-pleaser and incredibly easy to make. It’s fresh, elegant, and always feels a little special despite how simple it is. I make a couple added steps: after slicing the cucumber, I very lightly salt it and add ½ teaspoon of white wine vinegar, then leave it to rest around 10min in a colander. A final gentle pat before adding it to the salad removes excess water and keeps everything beautifully crisp and well balanced. I also add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the dressing, which gives it a lovely silkiness. Perfect salad that’s consistently delicious and always goes down a treat!
