Read more This fresh, vibrant, crunchy salad screams summer. Not only does it taste great, it is highly customisable. Any wilt-resistant vegetable can be used - see our tip below for ideas. And if you are a savoury-sweet person some chopped mango or pineapple would be welcome!

Here we have presented it as a side salad but it could easily be transformed into a main course with the addition of rice or noodles and a protein - grilled prawns, chicken, tofu or edamame would all make delicious additions.

Notes

Tip: If you want to prepare in advance we recommend scraping out the seeds from the cucumber which can release water over time and lead to a soggy salad.
