Cucumber Salad Recipe Needed

flexi, you seem to be doing ok here. We'll just watch you post and reply to yourself

done,...i added dill too

mine came out ok, but am going to keep tweaking it thru the summer. your recipe sounds good, carnie

Thats almost tzatziki - the yogurt, cucumber, dill and vinegar - - only thing missing is the garlic.

I also do a tomato, cucumber, red onion with black olives in a red wine/virgin olive oil dressing. Options: fresh mozzarella and/or chi chi's.

How about this: (This is what I use and it's simple & delicious!)

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped

Directions

Whisk together the vinegar, parsley, dill, garlic, sugar, and salt in a bowl; add the cucumber and stir to coat. Cover and chill in refrigerator 4 to 8 hours. Stir well before serving.

I don't get the sugar part either. But here's my recipe.

Cucumber, cherry tomatoes (sliced in half or wedges -you can substitute any ripe tomato), fresh mint cut into ribbons, lime or lemon, salt, cayenne. Toss it all up and it's tangy, spicy and the mint add a whole other layer on freshness.

You can also substitute any herb in there (cilantro or basil perhaps?)
