Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the cucumber slices briefly before assembling the salad. You can also add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but keep in mind the cucumber may release some liquid.
