  • Use fresh herbs: Cilantro, mint, or basil will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salsa.
  • Don't overmix the salsa: Gently stir the ingredients together to avoid breaking down the cucumbers.
  • Serve the salsa immediately, or chill it for later: The salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
