Notes

  • Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but expect the cucumbers to release some moisture.
  • This salad is best served cold and is not suitable for reheating.
  • Serve this addictive salad as a side dish for grilled chicken or burgers, or even as a dip with crackers.
  • For extra flavor, consider using thick-cut bacon and cooking it until extra crispy before crumbling it into the salad.
