- Choose fresh and firm cucumbers for the best texture and flavor. If your cucumbers are large, consider removing the seeds to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- For a stronger flavor, allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to let the ingredients meld together.
- If you prefer a less intense garlic flavor, you can roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the salad.
- Feel free to adjust the lime juice and zest to your taste. Adding more lime can give the salad a brighter, tangier flavor.
- To make the salad more substantial, consider adding additional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers, or slices of avocado.
