Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water.
Peel it using a potato peeler or a sharp knife.
Repeat the operation, removing a second layer of peel after rinsing both the cucumber and the utensil used.

Putting Them in Salt
The third method, finally, aims to eliminate the bitter liquid contained in the cucumbers by salting them, similar to how you do with eggplants. Below are the necessary steps.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water.
Peel it using a potato peeler or a sharp knife.
Cut it into slices, julienne strips or cubes and arrange the pieces on a colander, without overlapping them.
Sprinkle them evenly with salt.
Cover with a weight and let rest for about half an hour.
After 30 minutes, drain the sliced cucumber and rinse it briefly to remove excess salt.
