For the Salad
  • 2 medium Cucumbers Crisp and hydrating; choose firm ones for the best texture.

  • 1 small Red Onion Provides a sharp bite; soak in water to mellow its flavor before adding.
For the Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens the salad; adjust to balance flavors perfectly.
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Oregano Essential for a Mediterranean essence; feel free to use fresh for extra fragrance.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and depth; pour sparingly to avoid overpowering other ingredients.
