Tips
Use 4-in-1 Mandoline to make preparation a breeze. Slice your cucumbers and onion paper thin to get the perfect texture and consistency.
For an extra crispy cucumber crunch, thoroughly toss sliced cucumbers with 1 tsp salt and leave uncovered in the fridge for 1 hr to release excess water. Remove liquid from cucumbers before adding remaining ingredients.
