For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick. If you don't have fresh dill or parsley, you can substitute dried herbs, but use only 1 teaspoon of each, as dried herbs are more concentrated. Consider using other types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar, for a slightly different flavor profile. Thinly sliced red onion can be a great addition, but be sure to soak it in cold water for 10 minutes first to mellow its bite.

Cool and crisp, this refreshingly simple cucumber salad is a vibrant counterpoint to grilled fare, a bright accent to Mediterranean feasts, or a delightful light lunch. The aromatic herbs and tangy dressing elevate the humble cucumber to new heights of deliciousness.
