For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the almonds lightly before adding them to the salad. Feel free to substitute the cucumber dressing with a light mayonnaise or a yogurt-based dressing for a different twist. If you don't have mandarin oranges on hand, canned pineapple tidbits make a wonderful alternative. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can add a bright, herbaceous note to the salad. This salad can be made a day ahead, allowing the flavors to deepen even further.
