    I found this in one of the FC seasonal recipe books, then looked it up online to check reviews. It’s a moldy oldie! I made a full recipe dressing, but cut the veggies down to 2 servings. Avoid dressing the salads until everyone’s at the table . I also added some black olives. We had leftovers, so the dressing will come in handy. I used about half an English cucumber, unpeeled and about half a small bag baby spinach for the 2 servings. It was great with grilled rack of lamb.

    This salad is simple and quick to assemble and best of all it's delicous! It's always a hit with young and old and I have been asked many times for the recipe. I do like to soak the onions in ice water for 15 minutes (then dry with a paper towel) prior to adding them to the salad: this results in a milder onion that appeals to all eaters.
