Re: Need a wonderful, delicious, salad recipe

This summer I've made the plain ole Cucumber & thinly sliced Onion salad with a little water, a little sugar, vinegar, salt and dill.  It is so good and so refreshing.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
