    Dries it out so the salad is not  so soggy. Read here>>soak cucumbers in salt water before making cucumber salad

    To draw out the liquid and improve the texture. Do the same with eggplant to draw out the bitterness. Place these veggies in a colander, maybe lined with paper towels. You'll be amazed by how much liquid there was. Cucumber sandwiches must have reduced bodies and are the best with a touch of mayo.....

    my mom soaked them over night in saltwater and onions, etc. to make a cucumber salad the next day. It makes the cucumbers more soft, limp, and tasty .
