Cornichons are small, crisp gherkins with a sharp, savoury flavour. They work well in salads, snacks, sandwiches and cold platters, adding freshness alongside eggs, yoghurt or beetroot. Varieties may be plain, herb-infused or particularly spicy.
In the available recipes, cornichons are mainly used as a crisp, acidic addition to a yoghurt and beetroot salad with eggs and rustic crispbread. Their pairing with eggs, yoghurt and beetroot points to cold salads and savoury snacks; they also suit rocket salads because of their fresh, sharp flavour.
