This vibrant crushed cucumber salad with lime pickle and coconut is a masterclass in balancing bold flavours. By bruising the cucumber, you allow its crisp texture to absorb the sharp, salty heat of the lime pickle, creating a punchy base that is both refreshing and complex. It is a stunning vegan dish that works beautifully as a light starter or a cooling side to spicy main courses.

The addition of creamy coconut milk and fragrant fresh herbs brings a cooling element to the heat of the chilli oil. Whether you are looking for a quick midweek lunch or an impressive addition to a summer spread, this salad offers a sophisticated contrast of temperatures and textures that is naturally healthy and incredibly simple to assemble.
