DILLED CUCUMBER, TOMATO AND CELERY SALAD

Dilled Cucumber, Tomato and Celery Salad image

We developed this mid-summer salad to use an overabundance of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and celery. This recipe makes more dressing than you need for the salad, but it will keep almost forever in the refrigerator.
