Twisted Sister’S Creamy Cucumber Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 medium cucumbers (peeled, sliced 1/2 in thick & halved)
    1 medium red onion (roughly diced)
    2 large tomatoes (seeds removed & diced)
    1/2 green pepper (thinly sliced & cut in 1 in strips)
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons white vinegar
    4 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
    1 teaspoon dried dill
    1 teaspoon seasoning salt (more to taste as desired)
Preparation
    Peel & slice cucumbers in 1/2 in thick slices. Then half ea slice & transfer all slices to a lrg mixing bowl (See note).
    Roughly dice red onion & add to the bowl.
    Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds, rough dice the tomato \"meat\" & add to the bowl.
    Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in 1 in strips & add to the bowl.
    Toss prepared \"veggies\" to achieve a good distributional mix.
    Add last 6 ingredients to bowl, mix well & refrigerate at least 2 hrs (stirring at least once to redistribute ingredients).
    Notes: The cucumber cut is esp important. If thinly sliced, most cucumbers wilt & do not retain their crunch. -- When all ingredients have been combined, the mixture will appear dry & lack a creamy texture or appearance. DO NOT PANIC - that will begin to change almost immediately.
    Note added 7/24/06: In response to reviewer comments, the amt of salt has been reduced by half. If you reduce further, you will likely lose any salt component in the mix.
