Cornichons

Cornichons are small cucumbers pickled in a vinegar brine, often with herbs or spices. Their firm, crunchy texture and sharp, tangy taste make them a familiar companion to many meals. They are commonly served alongside cold cuts, cheese and labneh, sliced into sandwiches and wraps, or chopped into potato salad, tartar sauce and other dressings to add acidity and bite. Many people also set them out on a mezze table or eat them as a quick snack. You can find cornichons on the shelf at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store and solidarity initiative that aims to keep basic goods affordable while reducing waste, so customers are encouraged to bring their own containers when they visit the shop.
