Notes

Serve cold as a side dish. Pairs well with grilled meats, baked dishes, or sandwiches. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. The dressing may separate over time; give it a gentle toss before serving again. For a less watery salad, salt the cucumbers and let them sit for about 10 minutes before mixing.
