I have been making this for years, except I add sliced sweet onions and only use english cukes (burpless). I have never soaked the cukes first. I just add the cukes and onion to the dressing and refridgerate until the flavors blend. (at least 3-4 hours). If you want to take this recipe one step farther, add cooked rotini pasta before refrigeration. The grandkids Love it.

I have been making this for years, except I use 1 pound of lean ground chuck and 1 pound of hot sausage browned and drained. I don't use the water. If it is too thick, just add more salsa.

My neighbor's boyfriend has an apple tree in his yard. No one was doing anything with thoes beautiful apples. My other neighbors and I made apple sauce, then I made Dumplings, pie crisp, cinnamon applesauce. I still had apples, so I found this recipe and tried it. I have made two batches just to get to keep some for myself. Neighbors, family and friends all give this 5 stars!!
