For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. If you don't have fresh mint, a teaspoon of dried mint can be used, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. For a vegan option, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based alternative like cashew cream or coconut yogurt. Make sure to peel the cucumbers if they have thick skin, as this can make the salad bitter.
