For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or mint to the salad. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to the dressing. To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, you can lightly salt the cucumber slices and let them sit in a colander for 15-20 minutes before adding them to the salad. This will draw out some of the excess moisture.
