Hints

To reduce water in the salad: spread the sliced cucumber out on a flat tray and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes. Toss the cucumber and repeat with sprinkling salt and leaving it to sit for 20 minutes. Pour off any fluid and using paper towel squeeze out excess water from the cucumber.
