~ mixed cucumber salad ~
This is another very old recipe of my Grandma's. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did growing up. She would either make this, creamed cucumber or vinegar and oil. This one is my favorite. I think it's because of the addition of other vegetables. So tasty and crunchy! Enjoy!
