By the way, in the same place, at the foot of the Himalayas, cucumbers still grow in vivo- a savage. Like weeds - not cultivated or cultivated by anyone.
In addition, it is curious to know that cucumbers are the few fruits that a person eats in an unripe form. If cucumbers are allowed to “get ready” in the garden, they will acquire a tough peel, large seeds and a boring, insipid taste and completely not juicy pulp. It is for this reason that the plant got its name: in Greek, cucumbers sound like “aguros”, which literally means “unripe”, “unripe”.

- Experiment with additives - many products that seem unexpected "sound" very interesting in cucumber salad. Try, for example, pouring a teaspoon of mustard seeds into a jar - it will not only add flavor to the appetizer, but also “reward” with a pleasant flavor. Or cinnamon - do not think that this is only a dessert additive, in a cucumber salad it will sparkle with spicy “colors”, emphasizing the aroma of vegetables and helping the rest of the ingredients to open up.
- Take the time - and cut at least some of the cucumbers into shapes. “Stars” are very easy to make - for this you just need to make long longitudinal grooves all over the cucumber, then cut it into circles, you will get “stars” or “snowflakes” on the cut. You can also make any other shapes - hearts, squares and triangles, drops, flowers. Such an unobtrusive decor decorates a jar of salad well.
- The salt that you use to prepare the preservation should be regular rock salt. Options such as "extra", iodized, Himalayan and other bells and whistles do not fit categorically. Save them for salads and dressings.
