Notes

  • Cucumber Selection: English cucumbers are preferred for their thin skin and minimal seeds, but regular cucumbers can also be used if peeled and seeded.
  • Make Ahead: This salad can be prepared a few hours in advance, making it a great option for gatherings.
  • Variations: For added flavor, consider mixing in a splash of lemon juice or topping with fresh chives.
