Notes

Use organic cucumbers for reduced bitterness
Persian cucumbers work as an alternative
Adjust sharpness by varying the proportion of green onion parts
Opt for high-quality olive oil for better flavor
Replace olive oil with pumpkin seed oil for added protein
Add more lime juice if using low-fat alternatives
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24-48 hours
