Prep: 5 mins

Ingredients

1/2 a telegraph cucumber, sliced, cubed or chopped (see note)

2 halves of capsicum/peppers of different colours (I used a range of multicoloured mini peppers), sliced or finely chopped

1/2 a red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon flaxseed or avocado oil

Juice of half a lemon or lime

Generous handful of coriander leaves

Sprinkling of chilli flakes (optional)

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

1Arrange the cucumber and capsicum on a platter (if sliced) or in a bowl (if cubed/chopped). Sprinkle red onion on top. Drizzle with oil and juice, then add coriander, chilli flakes and seasoning as desired.

2Best eaten on the day it is made, although it will keep for a day in the fridge. Serves four as a side dish.

If your veges aren’t organic, you can wash them using water with a little bit of apple cider vinegar – just like this.
