🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Salad

🔹 Use English cucumbers – No need to peel or seed!
🔹 Slice onions thin – Soak in ice water for 10 mins first to reduce sharpness.
🔹 Adjust sweetness – Add more sugar if too tangy.
🔹 Add fresh herbs – Basil or parsley brighten it up.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • With grilled chicken or steak – Cuts through richness.

  • On burgers or sandwiches – A crunchy topping.

  • As a light lunch – Add feta or avocado.
