Method

step 1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the chopped mint for 1 min before gently stirring in the cucumber ribbons. Toss and cook for 2-3 mins more to warm them.
step 2

Remove from the heat and toss through the dill, parsley and a drizzle of the lemon juice. Tip out onto a platter, drizzle with more lemon juice, if you like, and sprinkle with the lemon zest.

Recipe tip

If you don’t want to use the hob, this will also work cold. Simply toss everything together in a large bowl.
