Introduction

This was my great-grandfather's favorite salad. He didn't like lettuce, so when he saw this salad coming out, he always said, "Oh boy, salad!" thus the name.

Ingredients

    1 cup tomatoes, chopped or sliced
    1 cup cucumber (peeled), pared, chopped
    1 tsp dill weed, dried
    1 tbsp light mayonnaise

Directions

Using equal proportions of tomato and cucumber, chop everything up into small bits.
Sprinkle with dill, or any seasoning of your choice.
Add a spoonful of light mayo and stir until everything is well mixed. You can also use ranch dressing if you prefer.
Serve immediately, or after chilling. It generally lasts a few days in the refrigerator, so it can be made ahead of time. Enjoy!

    I've made this every summer since I was a kid...but instead of mayo we used light Miracle Whip...just a bit tangy-er, and also onion...just a bit. It is wonderful. Oh my rating isn't working either...5 stars - 8/9/08

    5 stars. This is just like a tzatziki with cucumber, garlic and mint, it is a very refreshing salad.
    I always substitute natural Greek yoghurt in place of any mayo, salad cream and goes well with fruit and desserts.
    It is so versatile for savoury and sweet things and is good for you too!
