I really like Spring and the fresh salads that go with. The first time we pull out the grill for hamburgers, I think of this easy salad. My Mother made this recipe a lot while we were growing up. My Aunt always made a variation of this recipe by using mayo and milk. Same ingredients,…
Cucumber, Tomato and Onion Salad was a Summer staple at our home, both growing up and after I married. I have two very good recipes, one was a recipe my Mother made with a vinegar base and the other was a salad my Aunt made with a creamy base. I love both recipes. I hope…
