Notes
*If making this salad more than 30 minutes before serving, it can get watery. To help prevent this, do the following: Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and then scrape out the seeds and discard them. Slice the halved cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick half moons. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and toss. Put the sliced and salted cucumber into a colander set over a bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge. Discard any liquid in the bowl. Proceed with Step #3 of the recipe but omit the 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
