Step 4
Take a sturdy transparent bag. It must be completely intact, without a single hole; otherwise the juice released by the cucumbers will leak out. Put the cucumbers with herbs and garlic into the bag and salt them. Shake well and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. When serving, you can dress the cucumbers with garlic dressing.
