Step by Step Method
Step 1
Wash the outside of the cucumber well, using a veggie wash. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise. Using the back of a chef's knife, gently smash each piece. Not too much! Just enough to break them down a bit. Slice into 1 inch pieces (bite size) and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients and stir to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Set aside until serving time. If preparing early, refrigerate but remove 30 minutes before serving.
