Notes

This easy Greek cucumber salad recipe made without lettuce is all about raw, fresh vegetables. It's important to buy good quality produce from your local grocery store or farmers market.

Cucumbers retain water so I recommend consuming within 2 days. If you are making this easy cucumber salad ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator but remember to add the dressing before you serve it.

If you are serving the same day, I like adding the salad dressing a couple of hours beforehand to let the tangy flavors sink into the vegetables. Because fresh cucumbers and juicy tomatoes naturally let off their juices you don't need a ton of dressing.

Check your seasoning. It's important to season your food according to your taste. Don't be afraid to taste and tweak the Greek salad dressing as you go.
