Cucumber pickle

Method

1. Mix the cucumber and onion in a large bowl.

Cook's Notes
Mrs Allen started making this in Ballymaloe over 30 years ago. It is one of the most handy recipes to have in your repertoire; not only is it good in burgers and all kinds of sandwiches, but it is wonderful with cold sliced meats, smoked fish, and transforms a humble hard boiled egg and a chunk of cheddar into a feast.

It is a pickle so even though it will lose it's vibrant green colour, it will keep for weeks and weeks and weeks.
