Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: Look for firm, crisp cucumbers with a deep green color. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have soft spots.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and depth to your salad. Some good options include dill, parsley, chives, garlic, and onion.
