Note
For best results, use English or Persian cucumbers as they have thinner skins and fewer seeds.
If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of white pepper or substitute with black pepper.
This dish can be prepared up to an hour in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick of heat.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the cucumbers may soften slightly over time.
