This was as refreshing as it was easy to make! I loved the fresh taste of the lime combined with the cucumbers and vidalias. So easy to throw together and I am sure this will become a favorite at our summertime table. Thanks, Baby K!

This is a terrific salad I can see myself making all summer. I reduced the amounts to 1 large cucumber and 1 onion and made half of the dressing. I waited about 6 hours before sampling and taking the photo...it was good then, but so much better after waiting the 24 hours. The cucumbers are not swimming in a watery mess here. They are lightly coated and have a mild taste. Good job Baby Kato!

This turned out nicely. I like the taste of the lime. I added a touch more sugar(just personal preference). Thanks Kato!
