Start by thoroughly washing the cucumbers under cold running water to remove any dirt or wax.

Carefully pat the cucumbers dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Cut the cucumbers into thin, round slices, approximately ¼ inch thick.

Place the cucumber slices in a large bowl and sprinkle sea salt evenly over them. Toss gently and let them sit for 15-20 minutes.

While the cucumbers are resting, prepare the lemon drizzle by combining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended.

After 15-20 minutes, drain any excess liquid from the cucumbers, rinse, and pat dry again.

Transfer the cucumber slices to a serving platter and drizzle the prepared lemon mixture over them.

If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped dill and crushed red pepper flakes.

Garnish with fresh lemon slices and serve immediately.
