I’ve been wanting to make this for a while now… while I was making my Carolina Coleslaw recently and tasting the dressing, I thought it would be sooooo very good with cucumbers, tomatoes, pasta and fresh dill.
I made a few minor changes to the dressing recipe… oh my goodness… so freakin’ good! 
We ate grilled fish last night and there was no need for 2 side dishes of a veggie and a starch… it’s all in this bowl.
Feel free to add your favorite sliced onion to this salad. I would have, but this weekend I had a pizza LOADED with onions and wasn’t in the mood for them (but I will add them next time!).
Enjoy!
