💭 faq
how to salt and drain cucumbers for cucumber salad?
Salting cucumber draws out the moisture and ensures that your cucumber salad doesn't get too watery.
Sprinkle salt over the sliced cucumbers and let them sit in a strainer over a large bowl for at least 20 minutes. This process will make the cucumbers soft and taste significantly better.
