Step 1

Place the 1/2-inch chunks of cucumber in a colander or bowl. Sprinkle with the coarse kosher salt and set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Rinse the salt from the cucumber pieces then dry them very well. Place the cucumber pieces in a large zip lock bag.

Step 4

Pour the marinade on top of the cucumbers then seal the zip lock bag. Place it in the refrigerator and lay the bag on its side to marinate for at least 4 hours, making turning them over halfway through.

Step 5

Serve the cucumber pieces on a plate stacked on top of each other, then drizzle with the marinade. Enjoy.
