Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, slice the cucumbers into thin, even rounds. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness.
Place the cucumber slices in a mixing bowl and sprinkle them with salt. Toss gently to coat the slices evenly with salt.
Drizzle the sliced cucumbers with lemon juice and olive oil.
Sprinkle the black pepper over the cucumbers and toss again to combine all the flavors.
If desired, chop the fresh dill finely and sprinkle it over the cucumbers for a fragrant, herbal touch.
Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or side dish, or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra cool, crisp bite.
