This salad is soooo good. It is sweet and salty and the razor thin slices of cucumber make for the most fantastic texture. Since our cucumber invasion we have made this three times.... Unfortunately this one doesn't keep so well. Nor does recycling the dressing for a new batch work as well as we hoped either - the vinegar loses it's bite and it becomes really sweet. But you probably won't have leftovers.

they aren't even kidding. this is one of the best things i've ever had in my life!
Ok, clearly Laura is right - i only have one question: on the part of the ingredient list with the "or", which do you use? The Frozen Apple or White Grape Juice Concentrate, FuitSource, or Sugar?
I usually use evaporated cane sugar, but for the party I used Fructose Natural Sweetener. It dissolves a bit easier and is sweeter than regular sugar. -Amos
