Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 med. red onion (roughly diced)
2 med. cucumbers (peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick and halved)
1/2 green pepper (thinly sliced and cut in 1 inch strips)
2 large tomatoes (seeds removed and diced)
2 T white vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 T dried parsley flakes
4 T granulated sugar
1 tsp. seasoning salt (more to taste as desired)
1 tsp. dried dill
Directions:
Directions:
Peel and slice cucumbers in 1/2 inch thick slices. Then half each slice and transfer all slices to a large mixing bowl (see note). Roughly dice red onion and add to the bowl. Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds,rough dice the tomato "meat" and add to the bowl. Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in one inch strips and add to the bowl.
Toss prepared "veggies" to achieve a good distribution. add last 6 ingredients to bowl; mix well and refrigerate at least two hours (stirring at least once to redistribute ingredients)..
Note: The cucumber cut is especially important. If thinly sliced, most cucumbers wilt and do not retain their crunch. When all ingredients have been combined, the mixture will appear dry and lack a creamy texture or appearance. DO NOT PANIC --- that will begin to change almost immediately.
