Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers work well.
- To make the dressing, use fresh lemon juice and zest. Bottled lemon juice will not give the dressing the same bright flavor.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed.
- To save time, you can use a mandoline to slice the cucumbers.
- If you want a more substantial salad, you can add some chopped cooked chicken or tofu.
