Oh, my gosh! I was raised in the south and my folks say, "I don't give a rip," all the time!!
This guy is such a DORK!!! But I LOVE how he always screws up, laughs throughout and is friggin adorable! His kids must have lots of fun with him! I am a recent viewer...... :))
What’s DORK !! I can’t. Understand .. 👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳
This is my new favourite salad recipe. I made this recently at a dinner party and everyone loved it - it was finished before everything else!
I know this video is YEARS old, but for Father’s Day my Dad made it easy & said, just order pizza…but, well…We need something to go with & I’m pretty sure this & you and your Mom making stuffed mushrooms are 2 of my favorite “go to” dishes. I live in a VERY small town in TX…have most of my life, and though “that housewife” was one of my favorites, I have never heard anyone but her say that. My favorite southern phrase is “well aren’t you precious”, if I’m not saying it to a baby, then it’s almost sure to be an insult…but nobody (unless you live here) knows that, and as a true southern, even our insults are nice…
John--My children are now middle-aged. I STILL don't have enough time for friends and other activities, for now THEY have children and they ask for advice with parenting as well as for themselves. You NEVER stop being a parent. By the way...this recipe is very close to the recipe that was handed down through the Lithuanian side of my family.
Thanks! Interesting about the recipe!
What is the difference in your recipe, please?
When cutting onions, I turn on my kitchen ceiling fan. No tears at all.
Smart!!
This looks amazing!! I Love Cucumbers!!!!❤ 😊
Cucumber salad is one of my favorite things to eat in the summer. I also make it with sour cream, onions and vinegar, seasonings. Soo good. I was born and raised in Michigan, but also lived in several other states, some northern and some southern states.......” I don’t give a rip” was said in those states too. I don’t think it has anything to do with a southern saying that I am aware of. Back to the veggies... and herbs...My dad had a huge organic garden that was located near the lake with every type of vegetable, herbs, berries and even grape arbors. Yes he made fantastic wines. My mom would make pickles out of the baby cucumbers. I remember growing up on the lake and weeding the garden while the birds dive bombed me. Once I got too hot, I would jump into the lake to cool off. Sweet memories.
I love it...I love it.... I love it.... I love it.... I love it....
cucumber, rice vinegar, dash of grapeseed oil, and lemon pepper is a great salad too
I made this and it was so much better than what I’ve made with cucumbers and onions before. Oh my, I love the dressing and soaking the red onions this way was extraordinary! We’ve had red onions chopped on ploughman’s platters before and I’ve searched and searched for them (how they tasted) and never could find them to purchase, but THIS was how they were prepared. Who knew? Thank you, this is a winner for several reasons.
Native born Texan here and I haven’t given a “rip” since the late 80s......

Made this earlier today. It is BY FAR the best cucumber salad I've ever made, and I've made it many, many times. Thanks, John, this is my new go-to way to make cucumber salad.
I love watching your videos✨ Your videos are not too long and not too short, have the perfect amount of information and you have a very pleasant voice 💁🏼♀️ Thank you!
I'm so happy you like them!
That's a very good description! :)

Agreed 100%
agree with you 💯

Ahhh a classic summer salad. I once used a raspberry vinegar with out the herbs and it was fantastic. Also if you don't want the onion to be bitter soak the cut up onion in some cold water for a couple of minutes and then drain off the water. I do this for any salad I want raw onion in like chicken salad or tuna salad. I also like the English cucumbers like you, their peels are not bitter like those waxed ones and they have much less seeds in the middle. I swear I see this kind of cucumber salad at every Southern summer BBQ/Cookout! Love it!
I dont know the SSL skit you reference but I burst out laughing when you did it!
If on a diet this is a great go to snack and side dish
I loved it with regular cucumbers 🥒! This salad is a family favorite now! Thank you!
Dallas, TX born and raised. I have said, "I don't give a rip", numerous times! Mmmmm....pickled red onion 😍😍😍
Thanks Preppy Kitchen!😋
I prepared this salad last week to take to a gathering. It worked out very well, and was exceedingly popular! I had time to let the ducks sweat longer, and did get more liquid removed. I finally finished the small amount of leftovers a few days later, and was really impressed with the amount of crunch that the salad still had. One more note: I increased the recipe by half, using 3 cucs etc, but needn’t have bothered increasing the amount of dressing. Definitely a make-again recipe! Thank you, John!
Thanks for the notes, can't wait to increase the amount of the recipe now! :D
Nice summer treat.
I too love the purple colour of red onions😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I love the look of this salad 🥗 and the freshness of mix of cucumbers and mint.......yum!!
My mouth is watering!!!!!!
I just love watching you!!! You make me smile watching your videos...if only I could do that when I walk into the kitchen, instead I get anxiety! Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!! :)
Just made this last night and it came out wonderfully!
I made this salad for my family and everyone loved it. Thanks!
I made your cucumber salad for 4th of July everyone loved it
My dad used to do this salad (minus the mint!): he would salt the sliced cucumbers and place them over a clean kitchen towel, then hang it like a bag from the kitchen faucet for half an hour or so. He would then squeeze the bag over the sink to get rid of the excess water and bitterness. It brings me fond memories!
I'm a Texan and I've never said 'I don't give a rip!' Nor anyone in my family. The salad looks like a MUST try!
LOL, I wonder if it was just a saying she made up!
I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it!
I used to eat this in Germany. They often have marinated salads like this. Yum.
i load mine with white onions and lots of vinegar and black pepper and chili slices, i love it hot and you crazy!! the onion is the best part especially the next day when it gets even crunchier
I made this for our 4th of July get-together. It was a huge success. One thing that I did was gut the slices too thin, I will def be sure to cut them thicker so they stay a little firmer! Thanks John!
Watching from McKinney, Texas 5th generation native Texan. Yes. Texans say, “I don’t give a rip” 😂 Love your recipes, adore the Greek influences. One of my best days ever was sailing into the Caldera at Santorini on The Star Clipper.
Thanks for sharing I love your videos the recipes always come good and the way you illustrate is so clear.
Cool nice cucumber salad from a very handsome chef. What could be better than that.
I'm from suriname.. lots off love from us .. thank you
your salad is a perfect side dish😘
You definitely need an herb garden for all of your fantastic recipes. Love your videos!
Mary Turner - I was thinking the same thing! I was wondering, “Does John have a little room to grow some herbs? He sure could use an herb garden!” John, honey, I promise it’s not hard, you can even get these little indoor herb gardens now with lights, or do it in a sunny windowsill. Grow your own!
Excellent! I never thought to drain the cukes, and I'm loving that technique. Thanks.
This turned out delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
Love your recipes! Thank you very much for your step by step directions! Diane. Enjoy your time with your friends!
I don’t know if I have enough love for this recipe 😨 haha. I actually love this recipe, so good! I love cucumbers but for some reason every time I buy them, I don’t get through them all. So this is great
Simply delicious and turned out beautifully. Sure to be a hit at our 4th of July party. Absolutely love your personality and videos. Keep being you!!🤗
Thank you Vona!
This is my all time favorite salad.
Yesss indeed.
OMG! My mouth is watering!
Easy, healthy, great salad.
John that looks good. Big fan of cucumber salad. I'm going to definitely give this a try. ♥️☺️
My mandolin is calling for me to dust it off and make this salad. I love the idea of pickling the onions to take away some of the bite. Will have to make this and your spanakopita recipe this weekend for brunch.
YES!!!
I must grow dill this spring in my herb garden…so many uses for it
Good timing for this recipe! I am growing a couple Persian and Japanese cucumber plants. Already getting quite a few nice ones.
Thank you John!
Looks delicious! I love a lot of dill too! I'm Texas born & raised and I've never heard that saying. I'm from Dallas.
I love a fresh cucumber salad - so many options (add tomatoes? fennel? ) ... my mom always made hers with the addition of sour cream ... any way you make it, it is absolutely delicious !!!
Love ❤️ it and I love salads
I am in Michigan "I don't give a rip" is common and I am 70 yrs old. Midwest uses it also. Never heard of it as regional ....like the word "pop, cola, soda" ... for fizzy drinks.
I made this for a Mother’s Day party and EVERYBODY loved it. Thank you so much! Easy subscribe for me.
I'll watch a bunch of random youtubers and there is just something very charming and lovely about him.
A bright 🐢summer 🐸day🐦 in your bowl🍜🍜🍜. Just do it.🐛🐊🐉
J'adore ce que vous faites, j'ai aimé faire la cuisine grâce a vous,merci
I truly appreciate your videos, they’re very calming and relatable, you’re such a charmer! 😊👍🏼 Your recipes seem very simple and direct I haven’t yet tried any of your recipes but they do look yummy...soon!
UA-cam obviously knew that I needed this. New subscriber, from Houston, TX...never heard that expression used...EVER. Headed to the store to buy all of those ingredients for a cucumber salad for a BBQ I'm going to tomorrow. Thank you 😁
I have a picky husband so I have to watch the “exotic“ ingredients . But I think I’ll try this and add just a trifle bit of the mint each time I make it until he becomes accustomed to it. I made albondigas using fresh mint once and he didn’t enjoy it. Wish me luck. Life is crazy with a central Kansas country boy, Chicano and a German Shepard!
The four Japanese cucumbers that Baker Creek seeds sell are amazing..very high quality, prolific..
Just made this and it taste wonderful. Thank you
I love your videos and you have helped me cook and bake. My family and I love your food and I love decorating it. The information that you give is awesome. Thank you!

I love this recipe. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Finally got to try this recipe, and I'm so happy with the results. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Yep, we don't give a rip quite often! 👍 And omg, that looks so delicious. I love dill.
It came out delicious!! Thank you!
The best videos AND no music playing...funny and intelligent charm John... thx you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My grandmother used to make something similar but added chunked tomatoes (the kind that came from the garden - a REAL tomato) and a light bit of mayo. Then she put in the "icebox" to get really cold - perfect on a hot summer's day!
amazingly beautiful and delicious perfection i love no music no taking because i am paying such close attention to your calm hands and reading the screen helps me remember steps thank you i am excited to make this for my family
Michigander here...also said "I don't give a rip" when I was growing up (70's-80's) :)
cscott36 so what is butter my biscuit supposed to mean.
Hi John, I moved to Houston, Texas 2 years ago (from Seattle) and I’ve never heard anyone say that here. That said I think my husband would love the cucumber salad. Congrats on 357k subscribers! 🙂
I love all your videos. You're a GREAT chef/cook/baker.
Looks delicious!!
Thanks to your vid, I will now add mint whenever I make my new pickle! I pre-salt my thinly sliced cukes, put them in a strainer over a bowl, place a weighted saucer on top, and let them chill in my fridge for a half hour or more. I squeeze any remaining water out, and continue on with the recipe. The cukes turn out extra crispy, even after days in that sweet and sour brine! [Rushing to garden to pick some mint!]
Looks quite simple and tasty!
You're correct! We don't give a "rip"! Also, we grow our own mint quite easily.
The only thing that makes this better is going out to the garden and picking them fresh!!
I love watching your videos👍👍
I made this today and it was perfect!!! Thank you!
My favorite guy!!!
Southern person! I don’t give a rip is a saying! 😉 Along with “well butter my biscuit!”
Mint is crazy easy to grow
made this today. Refreshing; cooling; tangy. I like it. Thanks! I added some tomato to mine and skipped the mint.
Wow, even I could make that!
That’d be great with some crumbled Feta too!
Spokes I thought he was gonna say that but instead said mint 😂
That’s a great idea! 👍
Really Spokes, what if you dont like Feta, then we have a big PROBLEM dont we?
Just mind your own!!! Lol...lmao
Keep your feta. Give me pepper jack or Monterey jack.
I love cucumbers !! Def gonna try this :)
Best salad 👍🏻
So nice and light!!!
Thanks David!
What part from Mexico is your mom from ..?
You have lots of viewers here in Mexico .
YOUR CHANEL IS GREATE ...!
Me watching videos to learn how cook and I love ur videos it Always make me smile 😁
I never peel cukes. I rinse them with vinegar water to remove the wax. Love love love them!
