For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh dill or a pinch of dried oregano. If you prefer a tangier dressing, substitute some of the creamy dressing with a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, you can lightly salt the sliced cucumbers and tomatoes and let them drain in a colander for 15 minutes before adding them to the salad. Feel free to experiment with different types of onions, such as sweet onions or shallots, to find your perfect flavor balance.
