Top Tip
I liked to use English cucumbers because they have very small seeds. If you are using a different variety of cucumber you may need to cut the seeds out so the salad isn't bitter.
Frequently Asked Questions
I used 2 tablespoons in this recipe. I don't like to add too much vinegar because I don't want to add a lot of liquid to the salad.
I think white vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both delicious with cucumbers. For this recipe I used white vinegar, but you could also use apple cider vinegar if that's what you have.
