FAQ:
Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: Yes! It actually tastes better after marinating for a few hours, making it a great make-ahead option.
Q: Do I have to peel the cucumbers?
A: Peeling is optional. If using thin-skinned cucumbers like English or Persian varieties, leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Q: Can I use a different type of vinegar?
A: Absolutely. Apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar work well and add their own subtle flavor twists.
