I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute cucumbers. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of salads, but this one was really good! The dressing was light and flavorful, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp.

I made this salad last night for a family gathering. It was a huge hit! Everyone loved the fresh, crisp vegetables and the tangy dressing. I will definitely be making this salad again soon.
