I'm always looking for new and different ideas so I decided to try this one.. Here's a few tips to make it even better. -Use red onions instead of yellow..it's much prettier,use only 1 cucumber and substitute 2 green onions for the other.. Use about one-third of the salt that you think you need. Do Not overcook...and the textures will be wonderful.
