It is just my husband and myself at home these days. When I make this, I do not put my tomatoes in. We like our tomatoes stout..not mash like..to soft. When get ready to service this, I place slice tomatoes in a bowl and then add the rest over. Sit for a for a few minutes. It is so good.

This is more or less the way I bottle mussels. The mussels taste really nice with they veggies. I leave them for three to four days before eating them. As I live in NZ I use green lipped mussels.

my cucumbers are still producing and I have lots of grape tomatoes. the salad sounds wonderful, If I make it now (mid Aug) will it still be okay for family even first weekend in October? would pickling salt help it keep longer? thanks

I believe these veggies can be canned. There are some suggestions on the internet.

I made my version of this the other day. I add Zesty Italian Salad Dressing about 4 tablespoons plus I add a little more vinegar. I add more herbs too. Oregano, Sweet Basil, Parsley and Dill Weed. It is so delicious after it has marinated.

Brings back memories from 50 years ago. This was on our table at the farm every meal fresh from the garden.

Just wanna tell you since you don’t like onions if maybe you like red ones they sweeter also cut paper thin easy to eat after soaking or sometimes I use green onion they easier to eat but just as tasty

I love veggies like this. Calliflower and carrots also good and bell peppers. I use a gallon or 2 gallon jar and that lasts little longer..

This recipe is so versatile. You could substitute any ingredient for one that you enjoy. As you don’t like cucumber nor onion, have you tried a Honeydew melon and peeled and seeded cucumber salad (sliced in similar sizes), onions are optional? You might like the bit of sweetness the melon brings.
A friend of mine shared with me that by preparing the onion then, soaking it in a saltwater bath that it takes the “bite” out of the onion and omits some of the reflux symptoms while still enjoying the crunch. I do sometimes like to add a squeeze of lemon while marinating before adding to the recipe. You can rinse slightly if you prefer.
Also, somebody mentioned green onions. I like to julienne mine to a similar length as the other vegetables so that I am not always fishing for those tiny tasty rounds in recipes that they might go floating to the bottom of the salad bowl.
I do hope that these suggestions might help you to enjoy your creations more. :)Reply

I’m diabetic. Has anyone made this without adding sugar?

I am too. Try using Splenda to taste.

I’m diabetic also. I use the Italian salad dressing over mine. I’ve also made it with vinegar, water and no salt seasonings along with fresh herbs. I like the crunch of the onion and cucumber and a firm tomato.

This has been one of my favorites for many years. My mother made it. It is also good without the tomatoes which I can no longer have.

If you are using a normal quart jar and you have no lid, a lid from a Parmesan grated cheese (Spaghetti cheese) fits perfectly.

Yummy…I make this every summer. My grandson, who doesn’t like tomatoes or onions, loves this salad..he calls it his Mia salad. The name he gave me when I would greet him at the door saying, “give me a kiss”. He’s autistic and it’s the first name he gave me.

I am so looking forward to making this recipe. I have been looking for a cucumber recipe that’s easy and delicious and this looks like it would be perfect. I think I’m gonna try it with red onions. Hoping to try it within the next week or two. When I do I will come back and let you know how it turned out. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
