Salt can bring out the natural flavours of cucumbers and make them taste more vibrant. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over sliced cucumbers and let them sit for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse the cucumbers with water to remove the salt and pat them dry. The result will be a crisper and tastier cucumber.

FAQ
How do you add flavor to a cucumber?
Cucumbers have a flavor affinity for buttermilk, celery, chervil, dill, mint, onions, sweet bell peppers, pimiento, salmon, scallions, winter squash, tarragon, tomato, and yogurt. Season cucumbers with salt, pepper, onion, garlic, dill, basil, mint, or tarragon.
How to make cucumbers tasty?
Cucumbers are crunchy and cool with just some vinegar, salt, and pepper. But added dill or chopped fresh basil will elevate this simple cucumber salad to something just a bit more interesting. I like adding a mix of regular basil and Thai basil (the one that tastes somewhat licorice-y).
How do you make cucumbers taste sweeter?
Toss the slices with a little salt and let them sweat for a few minutes. While the cukes are sweating, thinly slice half an onion and toss it in with the cucumbers. Mix some sugar and rice wine vinegar in a bowl and pour it over the veggies. Toss well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving.
