Notes
To make this ahead of time you can prep the dressing ahead and keep in the refrigerator, take it out a couple of hours ahead of time since some of the oil will solidify in the refrigerator, shake it up well before adding to salad ingredients. If you prepare the salad portion keep the cucumbers in a separate container until ready to toss together to keep it from getting watery.
