For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be substituted.
This salad is best served fresh, but it can be made a few hours ahead of time. If making ahead, hold off on adding the olive oil and seasoning until just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
Consider grilling the tomatoes and cucumbers for a smoky flavor.
