This method draws out the bitter juices using salt, similar to how eggplants are treated before cooking.
Steps:
-
Wash and peel the cucumber.
-
Cut it into your desired shape—slices, cubes, or julienne strips.
-
Arrange the pieces in a colander, ensuring they don’t overlap.
-
Sprinkle evenly with salt.
-
Place a small weight on top and let them sit for about 30 minutes.
-
After resting, lightly rinse the cucumber pieces to remove excess salt.
-
They’re now ready to enjoy.
By using one of these three techniques, you can easily enjoy cucumbers without the bitterness—perfect for salads, sandwiches, dips, or even just as a refreshing snack.
