Cucumber salad
I have just picked some fresh cucumbers from my garden…..they are so fresh and tender you can eat them with the peel on, unlike the ones you purchase at your grocer (no wax coating on these babies….).
Cucumbers may be used in various ways: in tossed salads, tea sandwiches, sliced and served plain or with a dip, in numerous appetizers, etc. I love my cucumbers dressed with sour cream or vinaigrette style.
Ukrainian Potato Salad (Olivie) – European Recipe
There are so many different versions of Potato Salad, but once you taste this one, it will be your favorite.

There are many different recipes for potato salad, but one of my favorite ones is the Suburban Potato Salad. I love the added color and texture created by the fruit and vegetables. It makes a very nice addition to other party foods, or a side dish for lunch, dinner, picnic, or barbecue. This recipe makes about 6 cups of salad.
