RECIPE NOTES
You can substitute the english cucumber for a regular one. Just be sure to peel it and if the seeds are large remove them. You can substitute the grape or cherry tomatoes with 1 pound of Roma tomatoes, chopped.
Optional add-ins to customize your salad:
Add 1/2 of a bell pepper, chopped. The salad in these pictures has a red bell pepper added.
3-4 ounces of feta cheese or 1 cup cubed mozzarella. 2 cups cooked quinoa. Fresh corn, or even slightly charred corn. 1 can chickpeas, drained. Instead of cilantro try parsley, basil, or even dill. Change out the white wine vinegar for red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
