Method
- Very finely slice the cucumber into even rounds and put in a sieve over a bowl. Add the salt and massage into the cucumber, then set aside for at least 20 mins.
- Working in batches, squeeze the cucumbers firmly but gently to remove excess water, then transfer to a small bowl. Stir through the remaining ingredients. Chill until ready to serve (up to 24 hrs).
