Notes

English or Persian cucumbers work best because they have fewer seeds and thinner skin.Allowing the salad to chill briefly helps the dressing absorb into the vegetables.Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or basil enhance the bright flavor of the salad.If preparing ahead, add the dressing just before serving to maintain the crisp texture.
