For optimal flavor and texture, prepare the salad shortly before serving to prevent the cucumber from becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as fresh parsley or mint, to create your own unique flavor profile. For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the diced tofu in a tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette for 30 minutes before adding it to the salad.
