Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid using tomatoes that are mushy or have brown spots, and cucumbers that are wilted or have yellowing skin.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • If you want a more flavorful salad, you can add a tablespoon or two of olive oil or vinegar to the dressing. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • This salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
