Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this salad because it has a fruity, flavorful taste.
Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and orange zest to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar if you like a sweeter salad.
Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cucumbers to absorb the dressing.

Conclusion:

Orange cucumber salad is a refreshing, light, and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a light lunch. With its bright citrus flavor and crunchy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
