Sylvia's Cucumber Tomato Salad

"This is an amazing salad and an old family recipe from my MIL. This one is special...I promise! Once you try it, you'll be hooked. I'm not too keen on mayonnaise but I LOVE this salad. In the summer, you can make it with garden vegetables. If you're like me, you'll be tempted to leave out the sugar - don't! It brings out the flavor and juices of the veggies and transforms the dressing. Note: Cooking time is chill time."

  2. This is exactly like my step-mothers recipe from when I was younger, but she used miracle whip instead of mayo...I always loved it!

  5. Absolutely delicious. I made this the night before a cookout and almost had to make another batch because I couldn't stop eating it. Will definitely be making it often. Thanks so much for sharing it.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello! I'm a work-from-home mama to one bright little girl. Cooking is a long time favorite hobby of mine. I especially like to make things from scratch. I love turning ordinary food (such as grilled cheese sandwiches) into gourmet food. I also love my bread maker - I use it everyday for everything I can think of, especially pizza dough! My husband likes to cook as much as I do but we both have pretty different styles so there's always a lot of variety in our kitchen. I love trying new recipes so I am a frequent visitor of RecipeZaar.
