Method

Very finely slice the cucumber into even rounds and put in a sieve over a bowl. Add the salt and massage into the cucumber, then set aside for at least 20 mins.
Working in batches, squeeze the cucumbers firmly but gently to remove excess water, then transfer to a small bowl. Stir through the remaining ingredients. Chill until ready to serve (up to 24 hrs).
