Published on 06 December 2022
This Sprite Zero-pickled cucumber makes for a tangy and refreshing side to a wide range of main courses or as part of a smoked salmon lunch platter paired with homemade soda bread. The fizz of the Sprite and bite of chilli means it will pair well with rich, fatty meats or fish like char siu pork or Asian-inspired salmon recipes like this chilli salmon noodle salad with fresh herbs and lime.Time and servings
