2 tbsp white wine vinegar 
1 tbsp caster sugar 
1 tsp yellow mustard seeds

Method

Heat the vinegar and sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a bowl so it cools faster and leave to cool down for a bit.

Meantime, peel yer cucumber, cut it in half lengthways and slice into half moons. Whack it into a bowl, pour the vinegar mix over, toss in the mustard seeds and give it all a good stir.

Transfer to your serving dish and garnish with parsley/dill.
