I found that the cucumbers released a lot of water, making the salad a bit watery. I would recommend using a slotted spoon to drain the cucumbers before adding them to the salad.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of dill, so I omitted it from the dressing. The salad was still delicious.
