Instructions

1. Peel the cucumber and slice it as thinly as you can.
2. Toss it with the salt and leave it for half an hour, stirring from time to time, to draw out the water. Drain it off.
3. Add the oil and toss so every slice is coated. Add pepper and very little vinegar, and toss again. If the vinegar goes in before the oil, some slices taste pickled.
4. Put it in the fridge for an hour: cucumber is always served very cold.
