Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Bolillos, or 1/4 loaf crusty Italian bread
- 6 pickling cucumbers, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

For folks with a "farming background", this recipe
maybe old fashioned.
Anyone who has tried the recipe...flavor and texture of all ingredients...will enjoy each time you make it.
We have found minimal difference in final taste because of pickle/cucumber type.
Make everything fresh and crisp ingredients and liquids with mature flavor.
Enjoy!

I have a garden full of cucumbers and wanted to try something a little different. What a tasty and easy recipe this was! I omitted the olives and used parmesan too and it was so good. I'll definatley use this again and share with others. Great to bring to a picnic because no mayo to spoil and gives everyone a chance to taste this treat!
