A very nice light salad, and what the salted ice water does for the red onions is a surprise. Enjoyed very much, thanks for sharing!

Bam! This is a darn good salad, one that deserves to be first and foremost in front of the line for goodness! I followed this exactly, after chilling the onion for one day. Perfect and very smooth tasting. And COLD! YUM! Made the "dressing" yesterday, so all the spices and sugar combined into goodness and was terrific. I resisted sticking my finger in for a taste. I used a spoon! I used fresh parsley, and added it towards the end of the marinating time. I also whirled the dressing up in my little blender and this added some air to the dressing which made it so very smooth and delicious! The tomatoes taste so delicate mixed with the cucumber & onion. Yum yum! Will make this often, if not everyday! Made for Everyday is a Holiday Novembre 2009

Delicious with perfect blend of flavors in the dressing. My onion was still very spicy despite the soak, so next time I'll use a little less. Thanks for posting this!

This was enjoyed today with lunch. The vinegar was warmed slightly to help the sugar dissolve and while the onion soaked the vinegar mixture was chilled in the refrigerator. After draining the onions, the vinegar was poured over the prepared vegetables and it refrigerated overnight. Leftovers will be enjoyed later. Made for Zaar Stars
