- Step 5: Gently toss to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Notes
- For optimal crispness, dress the salad just before serving, as the dressing will soften the cucumbers over time.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh and is not suitable for reheating, as the vegetables will become soggy.
- Serve this vibrant salad as a refreshing side to grilled fish or chicken for a light and flavorful meal.
- A mandoline ensures uniformly thin slices, but if you don't have one, consistent knife work makes all the difference for even flavor distribution.
