Though this summer has been pretty cool, there have been a few days of smothering heat. On those days, I try to grill some meat and serve it along side a cool salad, like this one. If you don’t eat it all in one sitting, that’s ok. It keeps for several days without any change to it’s quality.

Cucumber and Vidalia Onion Salad (a variation of this Martha Stewart recipe)

• 5 to 8 pickling cucumbers, peeled if bitter and thinly sliced
• 1 medium sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, coarsely chopped
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
• Coarse salt and ground pepper to taste

In a bowl, combine the above ingredients. Refrigerate until cold. Serves 4.
