Notes
If you're planning to make this salad ahead or keep it in the fridge overnight, you may want to remove excess moisture from the cucumbers to keep the salad from going too watery.
Slice your cucumbers and sprinkle with the recommended tsp salt. Toss and then let sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Drain any excess moisture and then proceed with the recipe as normal, holding any further salt until you taste test!
