Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. To keep the salad more crisp, pour the excess dressing from the bottom of the serving bowl into another container and keep it separate from the salad.
The longer the red onions and cucumbers sit in the vinaigrette, they more they will take on a pickled flavor.
