"Wow this is delicious, can I drink the juice?"

A few years ago we had a potluck get-together.  I wanted to bring a healthy option that everyone would actually eat.  I thought my FAVORITE side dish, mom's cucumber tomato salad, would be perfect!  She made this salad next to a traditional recipe that came from my great grandmother that I like to call "flip over rice lasagna" (recipe coming soon).  

The reactions we received on the potluck side dish were very surprising.  Everyone initially went through the line and took a small spoonful to try (partly because they felt like they should have SOMETHING healthy on that plate lol).  After the first taste the comments were:

"Wait, what did you say was in this?" 
"Wow, this is delicious, can I drink the juice"
"Can I take the rest?"  

This salad is now the most requested side dish (and recipe) for us to bring to events.  
Hope you love it as much as we do :)
