This refreshing cucumber salad is a masterclass in simple, vibrant flavours. By salted and draining the cucumbers before marinating, they retain a satisfying crunch while absorbing the sharp, sweet tang of the white vinegar and grainy mustard dressing. It is an elegant vegan side dish that brings a bright acidity to any table, cutting through richer mains with its clean and cooling palate.
Ideal for summer alfresco dining or as a light accompaniment to a weekend lunch, this dish is best prepared in advance to allow the flavours to develop. Serving the cucumbers on a bed of soft lettuce leaves adds a delicate texture, while the final drizzle of olive oil creates a silky finish. It is a healthy, low-fat option that feels sophisticated yet remains incredibly easy to pull together.
