Using a vegetable peeler, run the peeler lengthwise down each cucumber, rotating the cucumber a quarter-turn after each pass, until you reach the seedy core. Discard the core. Place the ribbons in a large mixing bowl, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes, then drain off the liquid and gently pat the ribbons dry with paper towels.
