Looking for a nice side salad to go with your meat or fish this summer? Our dill pickled cucumber with apple and avocado is the perfect accompaniment and pairs really well with a side of salmon or roast chicken.
We've made a quick pickle using vinegar, sugar, dill and cucumber which comes together in 30 minutes. The quick pill ensure the dill and cucumber still taste fresh, and retain their crunch with an irresistible tang.
Serve with crisp red apples and buttery pieces of avocado.

Add the avocado and most of the apple to bowl; toss together. Season.
To serve, spoon on to a serving plate and scatter over remaining dill and apple.
