I'm trying to get my kids to eat sauces/dips other than "ketchup and ranch". Cucumbers are a sure thing for them so I thought I would try this salad as a side for supper. I was hesitate for them to try but it was rave reviews all around - adding to my regular rotation! Thank you.
Haha I can just imagine the uncertainty you had as you read the ingredients.. will they eat this with this vinegar!!! My kids love this salad too, like will only eat it and not anything else if it’s served 🤷🏼♀️ Happy to hear your kids enjoy it as well! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review- I really appreciate it ❤️
