Notes

If using regular table salt, start with half of this amount of salt and then adjust as needed, to taste.
This salad is best served right after making it, but it can be made up to 2 hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator until serving. As they sit in the dressing, the cucumbers will lose some of their firmness, but they will also absorb more flavor from the dressing.
