  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! - 5/12/09

  this is an oldy but goody. I use balmic vinegar and olive oil -- no mayo- or light cucumber ranch dressing. Can also some chopped red onion. 4 stars -- wouldn't let me rate. - 5/12/09

  Can also add some onion, a bit of Feta cheese and a few Kalamata olives with a splash of oil and vinegar dressing instead of the mayo and have a Greek Village salad - don't forget a small pita! - 4/9/10

  I made just as listed and it was great! We loved it. Nice to have a very low calorie alternative to a regular green tossed salad! Will make again and can't wait to use my home grown cucumbers and tomatoes when they're ready this summer! (My rating stars aren't working either, 5 stars!!) - 5/13/09

  Sometimes a lettuce salad is just not appealing. I don't like dill so used fresh basil. - 2/5/09

  Twist on this salad - skip the tomatoes, Toss together cored chopped cucumber, peppers, salad seeds (alfalfa, chickpeas etc.), fresh mint/basil or herb you prefer, and fresh chili (optional). Toss & refrigerate. Add lemon/mayo. Use to fill pitas, as a salad or to up the nutritional value of any mea - 12/2/10
