Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. It's always nice to have a good recipe at hand.
It helps to get the chores done quicker for more quilting time!
I will put you on my buddy list, for future recipes.
Thank you again, :-P

Have you ladies ever tried Armenian cucumbers? They are ribbed and light green. You'll never eat green ones again. They are like burpless, crispy and easy to grow. Started my GS on them as a toddler and he LOVES them especially dipped in ranch dressing. Walmart has them in the seed dept.

Another cucumber salad.
Thinly slice 2 seedless or 3 regular cukes.Peeling or not is up to you. Mom left a couple thin strips of peel on,then used a fork to scrape down the sides before slicing.
Salt & let sit for 1/2 hr,rinse & pat with paper towels to dry.Slice a red onion thinly & separate the rings.Mix with cuke slices.Add 1 1/2 C cold water,1/4 C vinegar (I use rice vinegar),sugar to taste or Splenda.Stir to dissolve sugar. S&P.
Taste & adjust to your taste...a bit more vinegar or sugar? Add either by the TBL.Cover with tight lid & refrigerate.After an hr or so,stir & taste...adjust seasonings as wanted. Chill till served.These keep for at least a wk.
