I can happily say I’ve never run into a bitter cucumber that wasn’t a pickle. Still, I’ve heard that depending on cucumbers’ variety and quality, they can be somewhat bitter and unpleasant. Checking bitterness is essential in making this Delectable Cucumber and Yogurt Salad.
Taste each of the cucumbers you are using to ensure that it is not bitter. If it turns out you got stuck with a bitter one, soak the cut-up cucumber pieces in saltwater for about half an hour or until the bitter taste is reduced. After washing, rinse the cucumbers in cold water and drain before using, even plotting with a paper towel if there is a lot of extra water and you’re ready to go make this cucumber and yogurt salad.
