This is an easy recipe and I have made it even easier throughout the years. This came from my mother who never measured anything. She just used her hand to measure and then made it to taste.

Feel free to switch very thinly sliced green onions for the red onions in this recipe. You can also use the dry ranch dressing mix but, since it's potent you might want to add one half teaspoon at a time to the sour cream and taste test.

We eat this yogurt salad on the side of most of our Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, especially ones that include meat or rice. It's really refreshing and is great as a palate cleanser. It's really easy to throw together and has fantastic textures.

A flexible recipe that you can make as much or as little as you want. Some people add sliced raw onions, but I do not like raw onions. This is very refreshing on a hot summer day. It keeps well and tastes better as the flavors mingle. Cucumbers are very plentiful and inexpensive this time of year. If you grown them yourself, like I do, this dish costs pennies.

This one is simple and my family loves it. You simply mix equal portions of sugar with cider vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss, refrigerate and yumola!

For example I will use 3 tablespoons sugar/vinegar for one cucumber, one tomato and 1/2 onion. More veggies...use more sauce.

I make cucumbers and onions and I make tomatoes and onions, but I never have mixed the 3 of them together for some reason! (I'll have to try that.) I like using the little grape tomatoes (they're usually sweet. I cut them in quarters, chop the onion, and usually I slice the cucumbers, but I think if you're going to mix them all together, I'd cube them (in bite-sized pieces). Then I make a very simple dressing of apple cider vinegar, canola oil, salt & pepper (all to-taste).

I put a largely chopped red onion, sliced cucumber and tomatoes in a salad bowl and pour a bottle of Italian Dressing over it and then spinkle basil on top of that, add salt and pepper. I dip with a slotted spoon. If there is any liquid left over, I put in fridge and use again later.

Well, are you willing to add some additional items? ;-) It's not neccesary but the ingredients here should give you some ideas ;-)
1 1/2 lb medium asparagus
Advertisem*nt
1 cucumber cut in half lengthwise and then cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 basket cherry tomatoes
1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4 inch slices
3/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1/4 cup nonpareil capers
2 tbls red wine vinegar
2 tbls extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
Parmesan cheese to taste, shredded
1) Snap off and discard the tough ends of asparagus. Snap each spear into three or four pieces. Bring a medium pot of water to boil (salted if desired). Prepare an ice bath. Boil asparagus until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain asparagus and ice bath right away. Once asparagus is cooled, drain and place on dry, clean kitchen towel.
2) In a small bowl, whisk red wine vinegar and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3) In a large bowl, combine and toss asparagus, cucumber, tomatoes, red onions, olives and capers. Add vinaigrette and toss again until salad is coated.
Sprinkle well with Parmesan if desired.
Any leftover salad will remain fresh for up to three days in the refrigerator.

I large tomato
1 medium cucumber
I small purple or Vidalia onion
Chop up tomato into slices, slice the cuke into rings and slice the onion into rings.
Put all together in plastic container with lid. Now add one TBS sugar and one TBS vinegar. I just use apple cider vinegar but you can use whatever you like. Now add some salt and pepper. Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake. Refrigerate for a few hours. This is great.

I cook some spaghetti (however much you want for your size family) and add the cukes, tomatoes and onion. The I use Italian dressing over all. Let sit a couple of hours for the flavors to blend. It's great! Make it even healthier and use the whole grain spaghetti or linguine.

My mom use to make a cucumber salad. Sadly, she has passed away and I do not have the recipe, but it contain dill. She would put the salad in a jar, then place it in the fridge. It would last about a week.
