Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. You can leave the skin on for added fiber and color, or peel it if you prefer.
Place the cucumber slices in a bowl. Sprinkle very lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately for the best crunch, or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for an extra refreshing side.
