Simple Cucumber Salad

1. Slice cucumber very finely (I like to use my Mandoline Slicer set to ⅛ inch thick). Sprinkle liberally with salt and let sit in a colander in your sink for 1 hour.

2. Rinse cucumber thoroughly (taste a piece to make sure you’ve rinsed all the salt off). Let the cucumber slices drain on paper towels or a clean tea towel to dry completely.

3. Slice green onions. Finely chop cilantro. Finely zest lemon until you get 1 teaspoon (per 4 servings). Juice lemons.

4. Combine onions, cilantro, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and cracked pepper and stir to combine.

5. Pour dressing over the cucumber, stir to incorporate and serve!

6. You can refrigerate this salad for several hours up to overnight; simply give it a stir to redistribute the dressing before serving.
