Hi Tracy, the pickled mustard seeds can be made up to a week in advance, but the salad is best made day-of since cucumbers get watery once seasoned with salt. If you wanted to slice the veggies the day before, that would be fine. It would just be a few minutes to toss together same-day.

Hi Jessica, that would work! Depending on the size of your cucumbers, you may need 2.

Would you use american cucumber, after removing most of the thick skin maybe, instead of the English cucumber? I’ve only found English cucumber wrapped in plastic, which I avoid if possible.

Thank you!

Hi Carrie, they’ll last about a month in the fridge. They’re great on sandwiches (especially grilled cheese), over soft boiled eggs, or served with a cheese board-type platter.
