Notes
*If you’re making this salad ahead of time, it’s best to drain the cucumbers of some water so that the salad doesn’t get watery. To do so, split the cucumber in half lengthwise then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds (that’s where most of the water is). Then slice the cucumber halves. Arrange the slices on a couple of sheets of paper towel and put more towel over top. Press lightly on them to extract some liquid. Then proceed with the recipe. If your salad still ends up watery, or if you didn’t do this step and end up with watery salad, don’t worry. There are instructions in the article above under the heading “Keeping Cucumber Salad Creamy” for how to remove that water from the salad and make it creamy again.
