When it comes to cooking with cucumbers, even seasoned chefs know that too much salt can be a recipe for disaster. A pinch of salt can be a delicate balance, but when the salt levels skyrocket, so do the consequences. Here's a tip for you: if you're adding salt, start with a pinch. You can always add more, but it's harder to remove excess salt, which is why we've compiled this guide for you.
For example, if you're making a classic Cucumber and Avocado Salad, start with just 1-2 pinches of salt. As the dish cools, you can always add more, but don't overdo it or you'll end up with a flavor that's as bitter as your aunt's disposition.
So, remember: salt is like your ex. It's better to be cautious, because too much of a good thing is just that - too much.
