Notes
English Cucumbers: you can use regular cucumbers for this recipe, but for best results use an English Cucumber - they are small, less watery and, therefore, more crisp and delicious.
Sesame Seeds: for even greater depth of flavor you can toast your sesame seeds for a few minutes in a cast iron skillet!
Storage: Store your marinated cucumbers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.
