• 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)

1. 1

   Peel & slice cucumbers in 1/2 in thick slices. Then half ea slice & transfer all slices to a lrg mixing bowl (See note).

2. 2

   Roughly dice red onion & add to the bowl.

3. 3

   Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds, rough dice the tomato “meat” & add to the bowl.

4. 4

   Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in 1 in strips & add to the bowl.

5. 5

   Toss prepared “veggies” to achieve a good distributional mix.

6. 6

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   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.
