I made this for a family BBQ and everyone really liked it.
Excellent as a side dish to any bbq! The crunchy cucumber and dills along with this super simple dressing add JUST the right amount of acidity you need to refresh your palate. I took it to a family cookout and it was a hit! Thx again Alex!

Old fashioned southern girl that put cucumbers and onions in apple cider vinegar. Now my family wants them Alex’s way. Can’t agree more! Great recipe!
My grandkids who love cucumbers, pickles and onions went gaga over this salad.
This has a fantastic flavor and quick to make!
Really delicious, and a nice change from my usual marinated cucumber/onion salad!
Light and crisp
