Notes
- To soften the flavor of the red onions, you can soak them in ice water for 10 minutes after slicing. Pat dry and then add to the salad.
- This salad is best served the day it is made, but it will last 1-2 days in the fridge.
- We used English cucumbers because they have a thinner peel and fewer seeds. However, you can use regular cucumbers or Persian cucumbers.
