Next, sprinkle the sea salt over the cucumber. I used Scottish Blackthorn Sea Salt. I use a morter and pestle to grind coarse sea salt when adding to salads.

Finally, add the red wine vinegar over the salad. Toss to combine all of the ingredients. It's not a bad idea to leave the salad for about 5 or 10 minutes as the flavor will improve in this time, especially if you use a good quality, flaked sea salt. Serve the salad as desired, but I highly recommend some crusty bread, especially for soaking up what's at the bottom of the bowl!
