Rusted Garden (Gary Pilarchik) Tomato Salad Recipe
 

Tried this recipe that Gary from the Rusted Garden Posted in his last video, he calls it Tomato Salad.

I don't like cucumbers but my parent do. Mom is always making cucumber salad. My daughter was making dinner last night and my parents were over so I decide to try this recipe.

I was able to stomach a little only because of the vinegar and oil flavor. My parents of course loved it, my niece only liked the cucumbers and everyone else did not like it, but that's no reflection on the recipe since we don't like cucumbers, well, except for my daughter but I'm sure Cucumber fans will enjoy this recipe.


But the picture looks good. :D

Those pictures look great. They made me wonder if my dad would have eaten that cucumber salad. Dad would not eat salad (rabbit food) but he would eat cucumbers with sourcream and chopped green onions or tomatoes the same way with or without the sourcream.
Most of the salad eaters I have known have outlived their non salad eating spouses. There may be a lesson in that.
