Step 1
Slice cucumber: No need to peel unless you prefer. Cut into thin slices or half-moons.

Step 4
Assemble: In a large bowl, combine cucumber, onion (if using), parsley, and chives. Toss with dressing.

Add mozzarella right before serving: Fold in gently so they stay creamy.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temp: About ¾ cup per person.
