This salad is so yummy. I used a fresh cucumber from my garden. I used half a red onion. I'll have to try with fresh dill another time. Thanks For the love of veggies :) Made for Healthy tag game -
This is very good! I added a splash of lemon juice and some onion powder to the dressing. I used grape tomatoes instead of the Roma, and regular mayo because that's what was on-hand. I will make this again. -
Absolutely refreshing and so good. I had to keep slapping my daughter's hand away from this salad or else we'd have non for dinner. As you can see by my photo, it was almost all gone. I will make this again this weekend for dinner with DS and BIL Thanks for posting recipe. Made for Magic Of Herbs Photo Event. -
On this extremely hot day... this salad hit the spot. I doubled the dressing as I had put in enough veggies for the 3 of us for our main dish. Served with a toasted kaiser roll. This will be made many times this summer. Thank you for sharing. -
This is a wonderful salad! I used one medium english cucumber and did not peel, 2 large roma tomatoes, and green onions instead of a regular onion. The dressing is very good and pulls this salad together beautifully. When I was done making the salad I served right away and it was great! Perfect summer salad that I will definitely be making again. Made and reviewed for the Farmers Market tag gmae in the What's In Season forum.

I'm a 33-year-old writer, mother, and wife. My family includes my motorcyle-obsessed husband, Myron, my 3-year-old firecracker daughter Melody Bee, a noisy and loveable Mini-Schnauzer named Max, a fiery and protective Scottish Terrier named Sammy, and a yellow, fiesty budgie (parakeet) named Lemonhead. We're expecting a baby boy, due August 4, 2008.
I work full time in the Quality/Safety department at a hospital. When I'm not working or taking care of my family, I enjoy reading and writing fiction, yoga, gardening taking pictures, and (of course) cooking!
Most of the meals that I cook are vegetarian. I stopped eating beef, pork, and chicken at the beginning of 2007, but I sometimes cook up some meaty dishes for my husband. I don't really call myself vegetarian because I do eat dairy, fish, and eggs, yet I daily incorporate lots of vegetarian and vegan foods in my diet (and that of my family's) because most of the dishes are so healthy.

Recipe Ratings:
Most of the time, I can tell when a recipe will turn out well just by the blend of ingredients and the way it is prepared. But occassionally, there's a recipe that sounds great that turns out awful for me. At all times, I will give a complete review of what I changed or what I think the problem was if the recipe didn't turn out "perfect." Here's how I've been rating recipes.
***** FIVE Stars: I made the recipe without any major changes to ingredients or preparation, and it turned out perfect. If I made any changes, it was due to what I had on hand, not because the recipe was bad as is. I'd make this recipe again without a doubt. And I'd be proud to serve it to my family and friends.
**** FOUR Stars: The recipe is very good, but I needed to tweak it just ever so slightly to my liking. (This does not include recipes I change because of the ingredients I have on hand. Instead, a four-star recipe was just a little "off," but easily fixed with minor changes.) I'd probably make this again, and I'd recommend this recipe to others.
*** THREE Stars: The recipe is good, but needed many modifications to bring it to my liking. I either had to omit, substitute, or increase ingredients or something was just not right with the texture or taste.
** TWO Stars: This recipe was a real bummer both in taste and preparation. I was disappointed in the outcome and couldn't even modify the recipe enough without it becoming a whole different recipe. I wouldn't make this again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
* ONE Star: I'd be embarrassed to serve this recipe to my worst enemy. Fortunately, I haven't come across many of these recipes on this site. Chances are, there had to be something wrong with the cooking instructions for this to turn out so bad!
NO Stars: The recipe was a catastrophe. It was completely inedible and had to be thrown away before it even reached a serving plate. My dogs begged to be let outside for fresh air while this dish was cooking.
