Fresh Cucumber Salad:

This crisp salad is awesome for lunch or to eat outside on a nice day. You can serve it as a side or as an entree with bread sticks. Also, you can substitute any dressing that you want for the olive oil and red wine vinegar. I'm a fan of Good Seasons Italian dressing. It would  go really well with this.

Anyways, I hope that you are all having a good Saturday. The weatherman's calling for a cold front tonight, so I'm bailing on my paper to head to the beach with the girls. I have some good posts for tomorrow, so be sure to check.
