Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create thin, even ribbons of cucumber.
  • Don't over-salt the cucumbers: Cucumbers will release water if they are salted too much, which can make the salad watery.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Add your favorite herbs and spices to the salad to create a unique flavor profile. Some good options include dill, parsley, mint, basil, oregano, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
