"I always make this in the summer if you have home grown cucumbers that makes this extra special. To avoid a watery salad you really need to dry off the cucumber pieces as dry as possible"

Perfect hot day side dish. The slightly sweet dressing is just right. We loved this refreshing tasty salad

Very good! A little sweeter than I usually make so I balanced that out with an extra splash of vinegar, and my onion seemed a little hot so I will be more careful with that next time. I used an English cuke which I did not peel and sliced all of it in the food processor- had it done in just about a minute. I served it sprinkled with a little bit of dill weed for color. Thanks for sharing! ~s
