Does the cucumber dill salad have to be made and served or can it be made a few hours ahead before serving? Thanx
You can definitely make it ahead of time. Keep in fridge until serving.
Good morning. I am making this for a potluck and the pictures look like there are red onion in the salad yet the recipe doesn’t mention any onion?
Thanks for catching that Tara! It’s 1/4 cup chopped red onion. We have made the changes to the blog post. Thanks for letting us know!!
Ugh, so salty it was just about inedible, and I added only 1.5 tsp of the garlic salt
I love the combination of this salad
