I will never again be overwhelmed by a bumper crop of cucumbers! We opted to use chives instead of sliced onion and added a few cherry tomatoes to the mix. I am also partial to using rice wine vinegar for a bit more subtle tang. I don't know that I have ever been so pleased with the balance of sweetness and tanginess that your dish provides. With the perfect sweetness/tanginess combined with the dill and chives it was one of the best flavor explosions I have experienced! Thanks for this GREAT recipe! :)

I am a wife, Mother and Grandmother. I am a native Texan and can't imagine living anywhere else. My Grandmother taught me to cook before I could see the top of the counter. I remember standing on a stool in her kitchen learning to make pancakes. My Mother loved to cook and it seems she was cooking (or cleaning) most of the time. So those are the two ladies responsible for nurturing my love of cooking!

As you can see I cook and review recipes more than I post them. That's because I am a pinch of this and a dollop of that cook and it's hard to put those recipes down on paper.
