Elaboració

Pas a pas

Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: No need to peel the English cucumber; the skin adds color and texture.
2
Sprinkle the salt over the grated cucumber, toss to combine, and let it sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess water.
