Introduction

These marinated cucumbers are both sweet and vinegary and accented by fresh dill. They are perfect for using atop a sandwich or served alongside a meal. You can experiment with other herbs as well – chopped mint and coriander are great additions. You can also swap honey for the sugar, which adds a bit of a deeper flavour.
