Preparation

Step 1

Peel cucumbers and thinly slice, using a box slicer, food processor or mandolin. Put 1/3 of the cukes in a deep bowl, sprinkle with 1/3 of the salt. Repeat twice. Place a small plate or bowl, that will rest directly on the cucumbers, on top. Add a weight of some sort to add pressure to the cukes, and let sit for an hour. Drain, rinse lightly and squeeze dry. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Serve.

Note: Peeling is optional, but the skin on some cucumbers tends to be tough.
For a 'weight' use a a 15oz can of something - tomatoes, beans, etc.
