Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and salt. Toss to coat and let sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

- Add the drained cucumbers to the dressing and toss until well coated.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
