Notes
- Marinating - I like to let the Greek seasoning marinate on the salad for a good 30 minutes. The salt from the seasoning helps break down the cucumbers and the flavor absorbs into it beautifully.
- Colored Tomatoes - To make the salad even more visually appealing, use a mix of different colored tomatoes, like red, yellow, and orange.
- Pickled Onions - For an extra burst of flavor, try marinating the sliced red onions in a mixture of red wine vinegar, sugar, and water for about 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.
- Creamy Dressing - If you prefer a creamier dressing, whisk together some Greek yogurt with lemon juice and garlic, then drizzle it over the salad instead of the traditional olive oil and vinegar dressing.
