ReplyDeleteThe cucumber salad reminds us of the simplest,most tasty dishes that make our summer - the veggie salads.
Thanks, Duta! Veterans don't get all the credit they need to. Glad you like the cucumbers!
DeletePam, Simple is frequently the best! My better half would love this refreshing salad...but although I do like cucumbers...onions...especially raw...not so much. Thanks to our veterans for all they've sacrificed for our freedom! Have a great Memorial Day... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Dave! This is pretty simple and good. I get you with the onions, but I would add even more. ☺ Yes, thanks to our veterans! Have a safe happy weekend!
