Step 1 of 5
Cucumber & Fennel Salad
Slice the cucumber thinly and put it in a strainer set over a bowl.
Step 2
Sprinkle over the salt and the sugar and leave it for 10 minutes. The salt draws out the water that would otherwise thin the dressing.
Step 3
Add the thinly sliced fennel to the strainer and toss it through the cucumber.
Step 4
Stir the sour cream with the lemon juice, the white wine vinegar and the chopped dill, and season with black pepper.
Step 5
Tip the drained cucumber and fennel into a serving bowl and fold the dressing through just before it goes to the table.
