Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

A tasty alternative to the same old green salad, but prep work made easy using "bag salad" as the base. Note to World Tour participants. I'm not an expert on Canadian cuisine - however, after reviewing many Canadian recipes, it appeared that the ingredients used in this recipe would be typical for the region.

Great salad! Being very fond of those lovely tasting English cucumbers,red onions and mixed baby greens this was right on for us. Used a mix of both the sour cream and yogurt - other then adding a touch more of both I made as posted. Great with chicken and a loaf of freshly baked bread. Our kind of salad!

    Great salad. Just the right amount of vinegar to sour cream to make a slightly runny dressing that still sticks to the cucumber. I think this would also be great alone, without the salad greens. Reviewed during ZWT 4.
