Slice the cucumber into thin pieces and halve them if desired. Place them in a large bowl.

Cut the red onion and red pepper into rings. For a less spicy flavour, remove the seeds from the red pepper and/or use half a pepper instead of a whole one.

Add the onion and red pepper to the cucumber.

Then add the vinegar, water, sugar and lemon juice.

The cucumber should now be just covered with the liquid. If not, add a little more water. Season with black pepper and add some allspice berries for extra flavour.

Mix everything together. Cover the bowl or transfer the salad to a preserving jar or reusable plastic container. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
