Apple Cider Vinegar or Red Wine?

There are so many types of vinegar that changing up what you use can really change the flavors! I prefer an apple cider vinegar in this salad, but try it with Balsamic Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar too!

Cucumber Salad Variations

This salad is so good the way it is and perfect as a side salad or picnic, but you can add a few different things to boost up ingredients if you like.

Change up the tomatoes from grape tomatoes to cherry tomatoes, Roma or slicing tomatoes.
Instead of slicing your cucumber thin, quarter them.
Add crumbled soft cheese, like feta or blue cheese.
Add larger or more bites of different colored peppers.
Try slices of white onions over red if you want more of a “bite.”
