Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can make the salad up to 24 hours in advance. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator and give it a quick toss before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Q: Can I use different types of onions?
A: Absolutely. While red onion is commonly used for its mild flavor and vibrant color, you can substitute it with thinly sliced yellow or white onion if that’s what you have on hand.
Q: Can I use English cucumbers instead of regular cucumbers?
A: Yes! English cucumbers (also known as seedless cucumbers) have thinner skin and fewer seeds, so they work perfectly in this salad and don’t need to be peeled.
Q: Is there a low-carb version of this salad?
A: This recipe is already quite low in carbs, but if you want to reduce the carb content further, omit the sugar from the dressing and use fewer tomatoes if needed.
