Then cut the cucumber into 1/8-inch thin slices using a mandolin or sharp knife.
4
Place the slices on paper towels and sprinkle with coarse salt. Let rest for ⏱️ 15-30 minutes to extract moisture. Pat dry with clean paper towels.

In the meantime, make the spread. In a medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, blend together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced fresh dill, minced fresh chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, and coarse salt.
