This is soooo light and good, with just the right tang to elevate those hot summer meals. I served this with recipe#456790 and both DH and I loved it - I made as directed, (except half peeled the cucumber as my peel was tough) and added the sliced cherry tomatoes. Next time I might even try adding some finely chopped onions to the mix. Made for ZWT 8 for the Winers, Diners and Chives.
