Hugs,

Thank you so much Bev. You just made my day! See you there.
This is pinned to make as soon as my tomatoes and cucumbers are ripe! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s!
Thank you Ann for the pin! Our veggies are way behind due to all the wet weather. But my tomatoes were brought indoors and they are doing great. Hope your garden provides you a summer worth of food.
I grew up in an Italian family, and this is just like the simple salads my mother used to make. The best!
Thanks Leslie. My family also liked quick and healthy salads. The kitchen sink ones were my faves. Enjoy your weekend!
This looks wonderfully refreshing!! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
Thank you Helen. Refreshing appeals to me right now. LOL. I am wilting. Enjoy your weekend.
Nothing better than a good crisp cucumber on a salad!
Thank you for joining us this week on Friday Features! Have a great weekend!
Thank you Karren. You are right. A nice crunchy cucumber from the garden is better than chocolate. (Wait. Did I say that?) have an awesome week.
Looks fresh and yummy, Marilyn! Pinned!
Thank you Julie. And thanks for the pin. Have an awesome week!
This looks delicious. TFS with #omhgww
Thanks Clearissa! Love the party.
Looks wonderful Marilyn, Pinned 🙂
Thank you Chas. And I appreciate the pin!
This looks so yummy. I wish I could eat onions. But I cannot. But for those that can…this is a great recipe. I can make it for hubs though. He doesn’t have an ulcer. 🙂 TFS
Thank you Clearissa for the kind review. Isn’t it sad that as we age some of the things we love the most we can no longer do? My favorite foods are now off limits. I won’t even try to name them. But onions are one of them. I lover liver and can remember those days when using a stick of butter as I sautéed an entire Valdalia onion wasn’t known to be bad. I could eat the entire pan! Those were the good old days. LOL. Enjoy your 4th!
Oh my stars! This looks fantastic! Yum! And I haven’t even had breakfast yet!
Thanks Amy. This cucumber salad is one of my favorites gaden salads. Enjoy!
Looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday!
Thank you so much Debra! I am glad you like it. Have a great week!
Marilyn this pretty much looks like my salad. The only difference is I don’t have the patience to soak the onion. But it is a yummy salad!
It is so good. Especially on a nice summer night. Thanks Mary. Have a lovely week!
This looks yummy! I showed my partner and he said he wanted one. ☺ Thanks for linking up to #fridayfrivolity! Xx

I love this salad, even better than my davirite Cobb and it is so much healthier. Thanks Angela! Enjoy your week!
This is a fave of mine — a traditional Israeli salad. Love it! #FridayFrivolity xo
I love this one too. It is so stunning when you serve it and I like everything but the onions. I give those discreetly to my husband. Thanks for commenting.
One of our favorite salads and this is what we’ll need after Fat Tuesday!
