A refreshing and tangy cucumber salad with a hint of sweetness, perfect for any occasion.
Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly using a sharp knife.
Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform slices for better presentation.
Layer the cucumber slices in a bowl, sprinkling salt between the layers.
Salting the cucumber helps draw out excess moisture, enhancing the texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place a weight on top. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Using a small plate as a weight works well for even pressing.
Drain the liquid from the bowl and mix it with vinegar, sugar, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
Adjust the sugar and vinegar ratio to balance the sweetness and tanginess to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber slices and toss gently to coat evenly.
Ensure all cucumber slices are well coated for maximum flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Chill the salad for 10 minutes before serving for a more refreshing taste.
