Notes
Note 1: You can use any kind of cucumbers for this salad. I use both pickling cucumber and English cucumbers interchangeably (just not at the same time).
The only difference is that I peel the English cucumbers because they have tougher skin, whereas I leave the skin on the pickling variety.
14oz is the average weight of an English cucumber.
