Ingredients:

Stir the mixture until the salt completely dissolves. Add the chopped cucumbers and let them marinate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
3. For the vinaigrette: Mix the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, orange zest, orange juice, the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to your liking in a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
