Hugh swapped onions for strawberries for a fresh take on a British classic in River Cottage

Serves 2 as a starter

Ingredients

  • 200g strawberries, hulled and halved
  • ½ a small cucumber, peeled and deseeded and cut into small chunks
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp golden caster sugar
  • 1 tsp olive or rapeseed oil
  • 1 tsp chopped dill

Method: How to make pickled strawberry and cucumber salad

1. Put the strawberries and cucumber in a sieve and toss with a good 1tbsp of sea salt. Leave for 10 minutes then rinse off the salt.

2. Put the strawberries and cucumber in a mixing bowl with the vinegar, sugar, a few twists of black pepper, oil and the chopped dill. Toss together and leave to stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop. Serve the salad trickled with the juices from the bottom of the bowl.
