For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the cucumbers and red onion before adding them to the salad.

This salad is best enjoyed the same day it's made, as the tomatoes can become watery over time. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

    I let the cucumbers sit in the vinegar mixture for two hours and it made all the difference. The flavors were so well-balanced.

    I didn't have any fresh mint, so I used dried and it was still good. But I'll definitely try it with fresh mint next time.
