Making cucumbers crisp for the salad increases their appeal and crunch factor. Here is what to do.
Step One
Slice the cucumbers as usual.
Step Two
Place the slides in a colander. You’ll probably need to layer them, that’s fine.
Step Three
Sprinkle the cucumber with salt. Then, cover the slices with ice cubes.
Step Four
Place the bowl and colander into the refrigerator. Leave for one hour.
