For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper. If you prefer a tangier flavor, adjust the amount of lemon juice to your liking. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the cucumbers may release moisture over time. Prepare it shortly before serving for optimal texture and taste.
