Notes
- Slice Thinly: Thinly slicing the cucumber and onion helps the dressing coat everything evenly and keeps the texture light.
- Drain if Needed: If your cucumbers release a lot of liquid, gently blot them with a paper towel before mixing to prevent a watery salad.
- Chill Before Serving: Letting the salad rest in the refrigerator helps soften the onion and allows the flavors to come together.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste the dressing after chilling and adjust the salt, pepper, or acidity if needed.
- Serve Cold: This salad is best served well chilled for the most refreshing flavor.
