- Allow the cucumbers to marinate in the mixture for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with additional coriander leaves for an extra burst of freshness and color.
- For a more intense flavor, you can lightly smash the cucumbers before cutting them, which allows them to better absorb the marinade.
