Notes

If using regular cucumbers, peel them and scoop out the seeds to prevent excess water in the salad.
Granulated sugar can be swapped for honey or maple syrup—adjust to taste.
Soaking red onion in ice water for 15 minutes helps mellow the flavor if needed.
For best texture, add fresh herbs right before serving if prepping in advance.
Don’t skimp on seasoning—salt and pepper bring out all the other flavors.
