I used a mix of salad I bought at costco. I really liked this but DH and DS less than me. Probably because of the yogurt. They're a bit fussy. Next time I may use more mayo. Thanks threeovens :) Made for ZWT8 for Diners, Winers and Chives -
This was good but I felt like the dressing needed a little something extra. Thanks for a new cucumber salad recipe! Made for ZWT 8 -
Very easy and light salad! I used leaf and romaine lettuce. Very refreshing. Made for ZWT8. The Wild Bunch. -
Simple and tasty salad! Great for when you want a light and fresh side dish. I had some arugula so used that for the lettuce. I liked the dressing, especially with the cukes. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT8, Chefs gone WILD! -
Light simple salad that hit the spot. I used Romaine lettuce and an English cucumber.that I sliced thinly. The dressing was tasty and I think the lemon juice brightened it up. Will definitely make this salad again and maybe try a balsamic vinaigrette. Made and reviewed for ZWT8 - 2012.

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
