Notes

If you can't get sumac spice, just go for smoked and sweet paprika.
I used very huge cucumber for the three of us. Adjust the quantity according to your liking; eat a lot of veggies and fruits lol.
If you let this cucumber salad marinate for too long, the cucumber will give out a lot of water, they will be soft but then you'll be over flooded with all that liquid; which is delicious to drink though.
If you don't like soy, leave it out.
