NOTES
- Should you peel cucumbers for a salad? You don’t need to peel the cucumbers for a salad, it is optional. But depends on the type of cucumbers used - Dutch, English, or Persian cucumbers have thin and not bitter skin that makes them perfect to use in salads.
Smaller, homegrown cucumbers can have thicker skin that is advisable to be removed but not necessary as well. - How far ahead can you cut cucumbers? The best way to have the freshest cucumbers for consumption is to wash and cut them right before you are going to eat them. Whole cucumbers will remain fresh for a week or two in the fridge however sliced cucumbers only for a couple of days.
