I suppose it was ok if all you want is some cut up cucumbers tomatoes with some lime juice on your plate. I ended up adding mayo lemon pepper an parmesan cheese to it to make it more like an actual salad rathan than just a pile of cut up veggies. I would give it more stars with my additions but as the recipe is written only 2 stars. Its really not much of a recipe. Read More

I love this and make it with a can of black beans added to it - drain and rinse the black beans first... Read More

This is a very tasty salad. The first time I made it I thought it was missing something. The second time I added feta cheese and that made the salad for me! Read More

Cucumber Tomato Red Onion Salad Haiku: "Lovely as written! Cool colorful and easy. Lots can be added." Great recipe for a summertime BBQ side dish. Definitely letting it chill in the fridge for several hrs. b4 serving makes it all the better. I've made this many times now occasionally adding a little EVOO balsamic vinegar roasted corn cumin black beans -- really as a base it's fantastic but it's equally fun and delicious to make by jazzing it up w/ other goodies.

Very very good. I added just a dollop of my No-Guilt Zesty Ranch Dip for a little creaminess. I don't want to share it's so good! Read More

Very simple and refreshing recipe. I made it as a side for homemade falafel & pork souvlaki. We like our food spicy so this was perfect! Made exactly as written except used sea salt. Will definitely make again. Read More
