1. I’m curious if anyone has tried this recipe with Herbs de Provence? I created a chicken recipe where the breast (lg, 10 to 12oz) is sliced through the middle as if to butterfly but only about 80% so that you leave a large pocket. I then stuff the breast with a four mushroom (xtra sm dice) cream cheese stuffing with an herbs de Provence accent. I thought the salad would pair well with the entré and I thought using the same herbs would tie everything together. I’m just curious if the herbs would make the salad a little heavy. Anyone try it?

5. I have the same question that another poster asked....a lot of the reviews say they will add "less water" or "more water" next time, but I don't see water as an ingredient in the recipe??

1. My dad used to make this. My husband would eat himself SICK on this. I've been looking for a similar recipe and this seems to be it. My dad would save the marinade and just continue to add the veggies to it. It just got better and better. This year I have my own cukes and tomatoes. Thanks for the recipe. I don't have my dad anymore to consult, so I appreciate the help.<br/>Linda

2. I added a combination of rice vinegar and red wine vinegar (50/50) in place of the sugar. The perfect balance of tang with a kiss of sweet. I love this simple and easy recipe!

" this dish is so good though it got me stumblin lookin for the leftovers in the fridge! next time my sister comes to visit i'm going to make it for her, might even raise her eyebrows. give this dish 2 cucumbers! a lil ranch would make it even better

4. Everyone in my family has made these for as long as I can remember. We use fresh parsley instead of mint. Great summer side salad!

3. Leftover vinegret. Peeled the tomato. Excellent as always.

4. This was great. We tweaked it a bit though. 50/50 red wine vinegar and regular white vinegar. 1 tsp of sugar instead of the 1/4cup and we added dill. I could easily eat this all week. giving it 4 stars because the oil separates into globs over night in the fridge so it looks wierd but taste wise it just gets better and better the longer it sits.

5. This was wonderful! I used an English cucumber, 3/4 cup water and used basil instead of mint. We don't like mint and I had just bought some basil. Yummy!
