Prepare the cucumbers: Begin by thinly slicing the cucumbers. A mandolin is recommended for uniform thickness. Lay the sliced cucumbers on several layers of paper towels, cover them with more paper towels, and gently roll or press to absorb excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
