Made it every Sunday from home grown tomatoes and cucumbers and onions.

She also used corn oil - not olive oil. She added a bit of fresh parsley and dill from her garden.

I hated it! The Rose does not eat tomatoes. 🤢

So she made me Cucumber Salad:

Cucumbers thinly sliced
Yellow onion chopped
White vinegar
A bit of fresh dill and a “smidge” of celery seed
Sugar to taste
Salt and pepper

Can’t give you exact measurements. As she would say “add enough until it tastes good.”

Yes, smidge is a culinary term.😉

Enjoy!

I still make her cucumber salad and my grandkids love it!
