Keep Calm and MISE EN PLACE!
Gather your ingredients. In this case this involves rummaging around in your fridge and cupboards for:
- 1 jar watermelon rind pickles
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tbsp sour cream or yoghurt
- 1 tbsp watermelon rind pickle juice
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Make Your Dressing
In a medium bowl combine the vinegar, the juice from the pickles, sour cream and honey.
Mix together and taste, adjust flavour with salt and pepper. This will depend on the brine you used for your pickles-- mine was very sweet so I had to add a decent amount of salt to balance it out. If your pickle brine was more on the vinegar side, you might not need to add the additional vinegar. Just give it a taste and use your own judgement.
Choppity Chop
Chop up your watermelon rind pickles into rough cubes. Slice up your cuke. Slice your onions.
Dump them all into your dressing mixture, and stir to coat.
Cover with saran wrap and leave in the fridge for atleast an hour. This salad is best when super chilled, and letting it sit lets the flavours get together and makes it tasty tasty.
Now light up that barbecue so you have a real reason to make this!
