Fresh Dill Cucumbers with Lemon

This vibrant lemon and fresh dill cucumber salad is a masterclass in simple, seasonal flavours. By thinly slicing the cucumbers and lightly salting them, you create a wonderfully crisp texture that contrasts perfectly with the fragrant, earthy notes of the chopped herbs. It is a cooling, elegant vegan dish that brings a burst of brightness to any table, especially during the warmer months when fresh produce is at its peak.

Quick to assemble and naturally healthy, this salad is an ideal accompaniment to grilled mains or as part of a traditional picnic spread. The citrusy zing from the lemon zest lifts the savoury elements, making it a versatile side that pairs beautifully with Mediterranean-inspired meals. Prepare it up to four hours in advance for a stress-free addition to your lunch or dinner.
