Crisp and Refreshing Salted Ice-Infused Cucumbers

Ingredients

- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cucumbers:
- Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly.
- Slice each cucumber into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick. This thickness is ideal for optimal crunch and flavor infusion.

2. Salt the Cucumbers:
- Place the cucumber slices in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the slices.
- Toss them gently to ensure each slice is evenly coated with salt.

3. Prepare the Ice Bath:
- Fill a large bowl with 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Add enough cold water to cover the ice completely.

4. Chill the Cucumbers:
- Gently transfer the salted cucumber slices into the ice bath.
- Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes. This step will enhance their crispness and refreshment by promoting water absorption while maintaining the right balance of saltiness.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Drain the cucumbers using a strainer and shake off excess water and ice.
- Arrange the cucumber slices on a serving platter, ready to be enjoyed as a crisp and refreshing snack.
