# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with zero cooking required
  • The cucumbers stay impossibly crisp even after sitting in the dressing for hours
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that thick cucumber slices make for awkward eating, so grab your sharpest knife and take your time
  • This salad actually gets better after a few hours in the fridge, which makes it perfect for meal prep
03 -
  • Use a mandoline if you have one for perfectly even slices that look restaurant quality
  • If your cucumbers have thick waxed skins, consider peeling them in alternating strips for better texture
