How To Make Quick Pickled Cucumber Ribbons With Onions

This pickle keeps well for a few days in the refrigerator, and it is an easy 'whip it up in the morning' to use with the evening seafood meal. 

It's a great addition served in a bowl, to a cheese board or platter with crusty bread and crackers.

Think wine cheese and pickles.

Think party plate food.

It's an easy pickle to put together:

All you do is peel long ribbons from one cucumber.

Add the vinegar, sugar, ginger and chilli mix, then the onion and the cucumber.

Refrigerate a few hours to pickle before using.

The result is a tasty combination of cucumber with red onion in a sweet chilli marinade with a hint of ginger. 

You can serve it as a side with fish.

It's delicious with salmon slices, oven-baked pieces or smoked salmon dips, and crusty bread or baguette slices.

Or as a side with pan-fried white fish crumbed and served with a green salad.
