Awful. Way too much salt. Had to throw it out. I am going to try it without or minimal salt.

This was awesome and I don't like overly salty things. If you RINSE this adequately it should not be salty. It was wonderful. I almost used dried dill because fresh was $2.99 a bunch at Whole Foods, so glad I went with fresh-even with that insane price it was just worth it. I served this with summer tomatoes and her wonderful sloppy joes, however this time I made them without the pinto beans. What a great meal!! YUMMY!!!!

Lovely and refreshing.I always soak my red onions in salt before using in any salad. But just as in this recipe...you must rinse, rinse, rinse!! Great summer side dish, especially with cukes from the garden. I have even put them atop a grilled hamburger(kinda like a pickle and it was very tasty. Don't cut too thin to avoid them from getting mushy.
