Notes
Cucumber has 95% water content. It depends on your preference, you can scrape off some of the seeds in the middle by cutting the cucumber in half and then slicing it thinly. Add salt and let it sit for at least half an hour to remove excess water from the cucumber.
Add the dressing to the sliced cucumbers, dill and onion an hour before serving and keep it chill.
