Stage 7/7 :

Your cucumber is now ready for use, whether in a mixed salad or on its own with a good vinaigrette dressing and a few herbs, fo example.

Remarks

If you prefer your cucumber tender and a little less crunchy, you can sprinkle the dice with salt and leave them in a sieve for about an hour to drain off some of the juice.

You will have noticed that when cucumbers are sliced, there are always the seeds in the middle, but these are less noticeable if the cucumber is sliced very thinly.

As mentioned above, it is quite normal not to eat the skin, but this is mainly a matter of personal taste. If thinly sliced, it poses little problem.
