For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing. If you prefer a tangier salad, you can substitute a portion of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, you can gently squeeze out any excess moisture from the sliced cucumbers before adding them to the dressing. This salad pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or sandwiches. It also makes a refreshing side dish for picnics and barbecues.
