We actually thought this was quite bland and the cucumbers ended up slightly mushy. It's not a recipe that I will make again, but thank you for posting it.

I have made this recipe quite a few times. Cannot believe I am the first to review. I agree, it does seem like an odd combination but, hey, when even the kids eat it, it's worth trying. So good over rice.
