My mom drove up so she wasn't sure if she was leaving today or tomorrow, so we planned this meal in case she was here tonight. She actually left this morning though (her freezer died and she wanted to get home to deal with the aftermath) and so we're having it without her. This is a recipe that my mom created when I was a kid and it sparked my quest for entree salads to carry us through the summer. This is so light and fresh tasting. It uses great ingredients for summer and pairs perfectly with fresh, raw veggies. What a perfect August dinner!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Sweet onion, cucumber
Time: 30 minutes + optional chilling time
Make ahead: This is best made ahead so the flavors meld.

Reaction
J: "A trip down memory lane."
