Wonderful recipe. My mother would make this salad frequently, however she never measured anything. I'm happy to find a recipe that has quantities. Thanks. Excellent, cool crisp summer salad. I like to make it several hours ahard of time so the flavors can blend.

This is great! I have a "friend" who makes this salad and every time I ask how it is made (she just says that it's easy). So I was glad as well to find the recipie that will tell me how much of everything I will need. I tend to over do it when I try to recreate recipies on my own. Thanks

I love this. It's simple and tastes so good with the dill. A dallop of sour cream mixed in makes this version deliciously creamy, too.

Very yummy! I substituted rice rinegar, used vidalia onions and added cherry tomatoes.
