Notes
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- The Persian cucumbers are the star, offering a consistently crisp texture and sweeter flavor without bitterness.
- For an even crisper salad, lightly salt the cucumbers and let them rest for 10 minutes before assembly to draw out excess moisture.
- The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- This cucumber sweet pepper salad is naturally gluten-free and can be easily adapted for vegan diets.
