Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound spaghetti
1 1/2 cucumbers

  • Halve or quarter tomatoes and cut olives into thin slices. In a bowl stir together tomatoes, olives, and remaining tablespoon dill and season with salt and pepper.

I found the spaghetti to be a bit too al dente for my liking. I would cook it for a minute or two longer next time.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.
