From "The Whole Beast"
Very easy salad. Vinaigrette was very tasty, the mustard was present but not overwhelming. The the technique that was interesting which I had never heard of before was to toss the cucumbers in some salt and place them over a sieve; this would pull moisture out and make the cucumbers crunchier, plus it would salt them.
I think this salad is meant to be eaten with something else. I cannot see making a meal out of just cucumbers, tossed in a vinaigrette and dill.
Back in Bocuse, the GM guy used to make something like this for family meal. But instead of vinaigrette, he'd mix cream and mustard. Delicious...
