To make this cucumber salad, I started by using a v slicer mandoline to thinly slice some English cucumbers.
Then I placed the cucumber slices in a large colander and tossed them with salt.
I placed the colander in the sink and left the cucumbers to sweat for an hour.
This sweating process removes the excess liquid from the cucumbers.
If you skip this step you will have a watery salad.
After an hour I gently dabbed the cucumbers with paper towel to soak up the remaining liquid and then transferred the slices to a large mixing bowl.
Then I zested some limes and added the lime zest to the bowl.
I also added some sliced red onions to the bowl.
I stirred all of the ingredients together.
Then I squeezed some fresh lime juice from the limes add added it to the bowl.
I also added some mayo, Kraft creamy coleslaw dressing and chopped walnuts.
I stirred all of the ingredients together until the cucumber slices were completely coated in the dressing.
I refrigerated the salad for one hour.
Then I transferred the salad to a serving bowl and decorated it with some more lime zest and a lime twist.
This beautiful summer salad is the perfect way to use up some cucumbers from your garden.
