At the heart of this salad are the cucumbers, which serve as the refreshing base. Their high water content not only hydrates but also provides a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy elements of the salad. When selecting cucumbers, look for firm, dark green specimens without blemishes or soft spots. English cucumbers, with their thin skin and fewer seeds, are an excellent choice for this recipe, but standard cucumbers work just as well. The crisp texture of cucumbers acts as a wonderful canvas for the other ingredients, allowing each flavor to shine through.
