Additions and Variations:

Red Onion: Thinly sliced red onion adds a bit of sharpness and crunch.
Feta Cheese: Crumbled feta adds a tangy and creamy element that pairs beautifully with the freshness of the cucumber and tomatoes.
Olives: Sliced black or Kalamata olives bring a salty, briny flavor that complements the salad well.
Avocado: Adding diced avocado provides a rich, creamy texture and healthy fats.
Bell Peppers: Diced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers add a sweet crunch and a burst of color.
Garlic: A clove of minced garlic can give the salad a subtle kick.
Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens up the flavors and adds a zesty twist.
Chickpeas: For added protein and heartiness, toss in some canned chickpeas.
Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make it a more filling meal.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeño for some heat.
Creamy Ranch: Substitute the yogurt with a light ranch dressing for a different creamy flavor.
Asian Flair: Stir in a bit of sesame oil, soy sauce, and fresh cilantro for an Asian-inspired twist.
