Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 3 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 250 g streaky bacon, chopped
- ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 3 spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
Creamy Saltitude Dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp BlixSam Saltitude (Salt & Vinegar)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
Method
- Prepare the cucumber: Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a colander. Sprinkle very lightly with Saltitude and leave for about 10 minutes. Pat thoroughly dry with kitchen paper. This helps prevent a watery salad.
- Crisp the bacon: Fry the bacon until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and allow to cool.
- Make the dressing: Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Saltitude, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice and dill. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Bring it together: Add the cucumber, red onion, spring onions and about three-quarters of the crispy bacon to a large bowl.
- Pour over the creamy Saltitude dressing and gently toss until everything is lightly coated.
- Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
- Just before serving, scatter over the remaining crispy bacon and fresh dill. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and a very light sprinkle of Saltitude.
