    Recipe: How to make crunchy Japanese cucumber salad
    Japanese-style cucumber salad is a light and refreshing side dish or starter. One of the first preparation steps involves salting the cucumber slices and letting them drain for an hour or so to extract excess water. It’s not a difficult procedure but does require some time.
    When I’m in a hurry, I’ve been known to skip that step. The cucumber slices don’t absorb the dressing as well when they don’t go through the salting step, but they are nice and crunchy.
