This is one of my favorite summer salads. My mom used to make it all the time being she was from Ukraine also. Brings back many wonderful memories of her in the kitchen. I added chickpeas chopped Dill and horseradish juice. It all Blends together very well. Have it with a hunk of rye bread and you're all set. Yum!
