Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Rinse the cucumbers and tomatoes and pat them dry.

  2. 2

    Trim the ends off the cucumbers. Cut them in half lengthwise, then into half-moons about 5 mm (1/4 in) thick.

  3. 3

    Core the tomatoes and cut them into wedges or bite-size chunks.

  4. 4

    Peel the onion, halve it and slice it into very thin half-rings.

  5. 5

    Pick the dill fronds off the thick stalks and chop them finely.

  6. 6

    Put the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and most of the dill into a wide bowl.

  7. 7

    Season with the salt and a few grinds of black pepper, then pour over the sunflower oil.

  8. 8

    Turn everything over gently with a large spoon so the tomatoes keep their shape.

  9. 9

    Scatter the remaining dill on top and serve straight away, before the vegetables release their juice.
