Note

For best results, use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes and a crisp Lebanese cucumber for optimal texture.

If you cannot find Lebanese cucumbers, English cucumbers are a good substitute; just remember to peel them if the skin is tough.

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

The "Dried packaged" ingredient in the original list is ambiguous; if this refers to dried herbs or spices, sprinkle them over the salad just before serving for added aroma.

For a heartier meal, add chickpeas or grilled chicken breast.
