Hello, Cucumber Salad! It's Been a Minute!

Who remembers hot summer days with the BBQ going and someone bringing out the cucumber and onion salad? Me! I loved it as a kid but can pretty much tell you that I haven't had it since. Until today. One of my favorite things about summer is the abundance of fresh produce. I can not get enough! Between my little garden and my neighbor's huge garden, I am in the height of my revelry. Longing for this and knowing that it's easy to make for one, I waited until I had a BBQ to go to in the evening. Not wanting to run the the store, I was so happy that this crossed my mind an all my ingredients were within reach. I found this recipe and of course, made my own embellishments. This recipe calls for two cucumbers but as in all things, size does matter. So the one I had was more than ample. It called for one garlic clove but two is always better. I added one medium Early Girl tomato freshly picked though I debated using two. Thoughts? And I doubled the water and vinegar. I think my mom just added apple cider vinegar and water. Maybe salt and pepper. But she is no longer here to ask so...I'll just tweak this little baby and see what happens. I put it all together in my pretty not-so-little Pioneer Woman bowl and we are ready for our BBQ. Maybe I'll pick up a nice crisp white wine on my way. I'll let know how it goes!
