Y'all know I keep glass bowls of side salads in the refrigerator: for snacking, and easy prep for lunch & dinner. The Tomato/Cucumber/Onion Salad is a favorite of Beth's ... Papa Billy likes the Japanese Cucumbers alot ... and the Bean Salad is so easy to add to, and works as a great "pot-luck" dish too
