We like to peel the cucumbers for this salad, but you can also use them unpeeled or run a fork across the peels before slicing to give them a ridged look.

Cucumbers are so yummy in any salad and I love the many benefits that come from eating them, but would you please tell me why the cucumbers need to be soaked in salty ice water...don't they become waterlogged and limp from doing this, and won't they chill from simply putting them in the fridge after adding the rest of the ingredients?
