For optimal flavor, use fresh, high-quality cucumbers. English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers, with their thin skins and minimal seeds, work particularly well. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. If you prefer a tarter salad, reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices. A pinch of dill or a dash of red pepper flakes can add a unique twist. The marinated cucumbers will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, they are best enjoyed within the first 24 hours for optimal crispness.
