Recipe Notes

  • The cucumber will begin to leak excess moisture the longer it sits so it's best if it's served within an hour of making. Or, you can add the salt to the cucumbers and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture, pat them dry, and then proceed with the rest of the directions.

Meal Prep and Storage

  • To Prep-Ahead: You can prepare this entire salad a couple of hours before enjoying. However, if you put it together too early the cucumbers will seep water and it will become runny.
  • To Store: Keep this salad in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days.
  • To Freeze: It is not recommended to freeze this salad as the texture will change drastically upon thawing.
