Notes
- Trick for crisp cucumber salad: If you have time, lightly salt the sliced cucumbers and let them drain for 15 minutes. This helps remove excess moisture and keeps the salad crisp. Discard any liquid before continuing. If you are prepping ahead, you can let them drain even for 30 minutes to an hour. Use English cucumbers for this salad - they have thin skins, few seeds, and no peeling is needed. Persian cucumbers are another great option.

- A mandoline makes it easy to slice the cucumbers and red onion thinly and evenly. A sharp knife works too if you prefer.

- For the freshest texture, dress the salad just before serving. You can slice the vegetables and prepare the dressing a few hours in advance to save time.
