Shyjade 10 Posted August 6, 2007 I make mine with sliced (peeled) cucumbers, chopped up tomato and a little fat-free Zesty Italian dressing. Toss to coat and marinate in the fridge. Yum!!

ginnyb 0 Posted August 9, 2007 I made this last night, but I used a dressing called Hendricken's Sweet Italian dressing. This may be a local (Midwest) only dressing, but the vinegar/Splenda combo would give the same result. This salad is GREAT!! Especially now when the tomatoes are starting to get ripe. I may add fresh sweetcorn next time!! Â Definately try this one, veggie lovers!! ginnyb "The only one who can stop me is me---and I can take her!" Â ginnyb (aka loves2cook!)

momof2inillinois 10 Posted August 30, 2007 Had this for lunch a couple of times this week. It is similar to another salad that I make except that I use FF Italian Dressing, red onion, and green and red peppers with the cucumbers. ~*~Kambi~*~ SW 240 (3/16/11) CW 237.5 (3/18/11) I think I can, I think I can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmandaRose-83 10 Posted February 26, 2008 I am not a big cucumber fan so I boil zucchini to make it a little soft and use that instead. Still great! Amanda  CW: ??? GW: 130 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheetara 10 Posted March 2, 2008 Made this 3X now - a staple already! I sub white wine vinegar, though. Not a fan of the rice. VANESSA 274/248.5/under 150 Size 26/20/8ish 1/4/08: -10 2/1/08: -8.5 3/7/08: -0 4/4/08: -4.5 5/2/08: -4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trisha20 0 Posted March 2, 2008 We make a variation of this in my family. It's a summer staple. Â We use cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Use olive oil sparingly. Both vinegar and oil bring out the juices of the tomatoes. The salad marinates best at room temperature, and it is always waaayyyy better the next day. Â As others have commented, it is a great salad all by itself, but it makes a darn good topping for the traditional salad as well. Our goals are only a decision away. cw:122 Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ponytail_girl Posted February 20, 2009 This is very similar to a Russian salad that I make all the time: Â Mix sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and orange or yellow pepper and add in a cup of coleslaw mix. Instead of the dressing, I use light sour cream (you only need one tbs) and add in garlic salt to taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
