This great side dish is adapted from Too Many Tomatoes, by Lois Burrows and Laura Myers, published in 1976. When I had a vegetable garden, this cookbook was my Bible. It is full of great recipes that address the wonderful problem of what to do when you are faced with an abundant crop and need fresh ideas for bringing all those beans, carrots, and - yes - cucumbers - to the table. Over the years I have made substitutions and reduced the amount of salt. Kids and adults all love this refreshing and easy to assemble salad. The recipe can be easily doubled, or even tripled, and it travels well.
