For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the cucumbers and red onion before adding them to the salad. If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or even a squeeze of lemon juice can be substituted. 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.

Mar 1, 2025I 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.
