Notes

For a more flavorful salad, prepare the cucumber salad a few hours in advance and let it marinate in the refrigerator. This will enhance the flavors and make the salad even more refreshing. If you prefer a less tangy version, adjust the amount of vinegar to taste. You can also add a touch of lemon juice for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
