Cucumber Varietals
SLICERS
These are the standard grocery store cucumbers. Most are waxed. Skin is thick and a little bitter so they are usually peeled and de-seeded.
Grate cucumber into a large bowl. Add salt. Mix well, then set aside for ½ hour. Rinse and gently squeeze dry, discarding juices. Add remaining ingredients to taste. Sprinkle with cumin seeds and drizzle with olive oil.
Indian raita variation: Omit the lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.
