Notes
- If not serving right away, drain cucumbers with salt for 20 minutes and pat dry to keep salad crisp.
- Prepare ingredients ahead, but toss the salad just before serving for best texture.
- Dry dill weed can replace fresh dill; start with less and adjust to taste.
- Variations include adding fresh mint, parsley, kalamata olives, or feta for added flavor.
