Did I tell you about the time that my married man burnt me with a hot grill basket? On. Purpose. (Except totally not.)
Nosotros had my family unit over to swim concluding summer and he was grilling shish kabobs. Except, they totally aren't actually kabobs, considering I'm e'er to lazy to thread the meat and veggies onto skewers.
Instead, we just take all of the kabob components (for us, that's chicken, steak, hot dogs, and smoked sausage for the meat and squash, peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes for the veg), dice them up, and toss them into grill baskets on the grill.
They taste the same equally kabobs, but they're a lot easier to manage.
Anyhow. I was trying to aid him empty the hot grill basket onto a serving platter. He was holding the basket and I reached over it to scrape the goodies out.
He says that I bumped into the hot basket myself. I say that he purposefully pressed the hot handbasket up confronting my arm.
I all the same have a scar, you guys! A scar!
Clearly, this is all his error and I often shove my arm in his face and betoken angrily at the scar, just to remind him that I've got my center on him.
Anyway, that literally has zippo at all to do with this cucumber onion salad. It's just that when I sat down to write this blog post, I was thinking how well this creamy cucumber salad recipe would go with some kabobs and it reminded me of the fourth dimension my husband maimed me.
Nobody tell him that this weblog post exists, okay? If you lot practise, you'll take to mind to him go on and on nearly how it was my fault and not his and you'll probably believe him, because, well…information technology might be the truth.
Moving on…

How to make this cucumber salad recipe:
Piece your cucumbers into thin rounds and then salt with kosher salt. Toss the cucumbers in the salt and let set for xxx minutes. This will help the cucumbers to release a lot of their liquid.
Bleed away any liquid from the bowl of cucumbers and pat them dry out.
The cucumbers may release a bit more than liquid during that fourth dimension which will thin out the sauce a bit. You can either serve it as is, or you lot can drain off some of the liquid. Either style, this cucumber salad with mayo is delicious!
How long will cucumber salad proceed?
I go on this in the fridge until the cucumbers get-go to get a piddling wilty and soft…I like them crunchy and then when they become too soft it'southward a sign for me to toss whatever leftovers.
This usually stays well-baked for 3-iv days tightly covered in the fridge.
