"CUCUMBER SALAD W/ A TWIST"

Hey, hope everyone is having a great week. Today's recipe is delicious and great side salad when entertaining. We are going to "curl" the cucumbers instead of slicing them. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:  3-4 medium cucumbers
1 pt. grape tomatoes
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 red onion sliced
Fresh Parmesan cheese (garnish)

DRESSING:  Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise with 3 tablespoons of Italian Dressing.

Using a potato peeler thinly slice cucumbers creating twirls. Finely chop any cucumber that doesn't wish to curl. In a serving bowl combine cucumber with tomatoes, sun flower seeds and sliced red onions. Mix with dressing and shave fresh Parmesan cheese on top just before serving. Easy and Delish!

TOMORROW:  "Chicken Salad"

DESIGN TIP:  The weekend is approaching. Do a "walk through" of your accessories in your home that you may not use. Now call your girlfriends! Have an "Accessory Swap"...sounds crazy but it's fun. Prepare brunch or have everyone bring a dish. You'll have a blast and you're saving money while getting a new look in your home.
