Notes

Tip 1: To prevent a watery salad, gently pat the diced cucumbers with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before mixing.
Tip 2: For a lighter version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with an equal amount of Greek yogurt.
Tip 3: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
