Love this salad. My grandma use to make it and it never tastes the same as I think I was missing the love she put into it.

I don't have a picture but you need to try: Fresh pineapple cut into chuncks,cucumber chunks, jalopeno and either fresh cilantro or fresh dill. Add a squirt of lemon or better yet lime juice and S&P to taste.

I am trying to find a receipe for using vinegar, sugar and water for soaking sliced cucumbers. I clearly remember watching my Grandmother making this but she didn't measure anything (just splashes and sprinkles depending on the size of the bowl). I've tried many times but can't seem to get the right proportions. I wouuld appreciate any suggestions you may be able to offer. Thank you, Charlotte

Hi Leslee, Here is the recipe you're looking for: http://www.pauladeen.com/recipes/recipe_view/cold_cucumber_salad/

I make this but in my recipe I use rice vinegar, sweet and lo, a jar of artichoke hearts (juice and all,) and sometimes a firm avocado. Great alone or on lettuce - no need for a dressing at all.

This a great salad. One of my favorite summer salads for home or work is to cube cucumber, onion, green pepper, celery and green pimento stuffed olives and stir into a good thick cottage cheese. Peel and partially cut a home-grown tomato in 8 wedges (so that it make a blossom). Place on a leafy green lettuce leaf and place a mound of cottage cheese mixture in the center. Serve with your favorite crackers. YUM-Yum!

This recipe is DELISH...my kids are standing around the bowl eating it with their fingers right now its soooo good. They never eat tomatos either but they love this dish!! Easy to make and so so good!!! I added a bit of lemon juice to because I love the citrusy flavor!!

By Jim Walloch on July 26, 2011

This salad is great also if you like black olives. Add sliced ones in with everything else.

I make the same kind of salad but i use regular tomatoes cut up and the purple onion and toss it with good seasons italian dressing.

Love this. Wish I could find the recipe that used cucumbers and onions marinated in a vinegar and sour cream mixture. It was so good. I just bet Paula knows exactly what I'm talkin' about!!! Love you Paula!

My Mom used to make a similar Salad with Cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. She would add some sugar and sour cream along with the vinegar. Let it stand awhile before serving. Great summer salad with any meal.
