Questions about Cucumber salad
How do you stop cucumber salad becoming watery?
Slice the cucumber, toss it with a little salt and leave it in a colander for 10–15 minutes. Pat it dry before adding the dressing; this draws out excess water and helps the dressing cling.
Should you peel cucumber for a salad?
You can leave the skin on if it is clean and tender; it adds colour and crunch. Peel it in alternating strips for a softer bite, or remove the seeds with a teaspoon if they are especially watery.
What dressing goes well with cucumber salad?
For a sharp dressing, mix vinegar or lemon juice with a little oil, salt and black pepper. For a creamy version, stir chopped dill or mint into yoghurt, then dress the cucumber just before serving.
How long does cucumber salad keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered and chilled, and aim to eat it within a day: cucumber releases water and loses its crunch as it sits. If you are making it ahead, refrigerate the sliced cucumber and dressing separately and combine them shortly before serving.
What goes well with cucumber salad?
Its cool, crisp bite works alongside grilled fish, kebabs, roast meat or spicy dishes. Add tomato and red onion for a simple mixed salad, or serve it with yoghurt and flatbread.
