Call me whatever you want, but I never knew a salad could be considered a salad still without lettuce. Duh to me hence "Macaroni, Potato and Sea Food Salad"...don't judge me. On a serious note, I always thought a salad always contained lettuce. However, i'm not a big fan of lettuce. When I get a salad I'm usually eating everything else but the green leaves. I am a fan of cold cucumbers and thanks to friend in my head Bethenny Frankel former New York Housewife now turned reality tv entrepreneur she has shared her cucumber salad recipe.
The dish which she calls Cool Cucumber Salad includes all things cucumber with tasty juices to give it a punch. This meal is simple and easy to cook up. What I love most about this meal is that it's very light in calorie intake. Of course all of Bethenny's meals are light in health. I can't wait to try it; sounds so good. I will use my own dressing :-) Give me Bleu Cheese or Caesar dressing and I'm good. Enough of my babble, if you decide to re-master this dish, let me know how it came out.
