Ingredients
-
1 medium red onion (roughly diced)
-
2 large tomatoes (seeds removed & diced)
-
1/2 green pepper (thinly sliced & cut in 1 in strips)
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons white vinegar
-
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
-
1 teaspoon dried dill
-
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (more to taste as desired)
-
2 medium cucumbers (peeled, sliced 1/2 in thick & halved)
Instructions
- Peel & slice cucumbers in 1/2 in thick slices. Then half ea slice & transfer all slices to a lrg mixing bowl (See note).
- Roughly dice red onion & add to the bowl.
- Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds, rough dice the tomato “meat†& add to the bowl.
- Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in 1 in strips & add to the bowl.
- Toss prepared “veggies†to achieve a good distributional mix.
- Add last 6 ingredients to bowl, mix well & refrigerate at least 2 hrs (stirring at least once to redistribute ingredients).
- Notes: The cucumber cut is esp important. If thinly sliced, most cucumbers wilt & do not retain their crunch. -- When all ingredients have been combined, the mixture will appear dry & lack a creamy texture or appearance. DO NOT PANIC – that will begin to change almost immediately.
- Note added 7/24/06: In response to reviewer comments, the amt of salt has been reduced by half. If you reduce further, you will likely lose any salt component in the mix.
