For optimal flavor, allow the salad to chill for at least 8 hours. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the mixture before refrigerating. Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs, such as mint or dill, to customize the flavor profile. To avoid a watery salad, make sure to seed the tomatoes and cucumbers thoroughly. Serve chilled and enjoy!
