Notes
- The dressing will be on the thicker side, which is okay because the cucumbers will still release additional moisture.
- *Nutrition information is approximate and was calculated using an online nutrition calculator.
- Let the salad rest 30-60 minutes before serving. This recipe is at its absolute best 1 hour after making. The dressing has had time to absorb and the cucumber slices are still crisp.
- Thinly slice those cukes. Use a mandolin to create even, thin slices.
- Salt those cukes first! Don't skip this step; it helps remove excess moisture.
