Obviously this salad is terrific in the summer when cucumbers are abundant. But theoretically, you can make it anytime. It is best served immediately.
The key to the salad is to salt the cucumbers and onions in order to drain the excess water out of the vegetables or the salad will be a wet, soggy mess!
