Tips for Refreshing Cucumber Mint Fenugreek Salad

Choose a firm cucumber so the slices stay crisp rather than turning watery.
Keep the fenugreek leaves finely chopped; their earthy, slightly bitter flavor can dominate in large pieces.
Serve soon after chilling for the best crunch, as salt and lemon gradually draw moisture from the cucumber.
