Love this! I do tweak the seasoning a bit and add a can of bite sized baby corn for color and extra crunch, but there is always a sealed container of a good cucumber salad in my fridge. -
Wonderful, refreshing salad with lots of crunch. I made half the salad and served it with sandwiches for 2. Thanks for sharing! ZWT6 -
This is good. I found the flavors meld and the taste and texture was better a couple days after making this salad. I used vidalia onion, fresh chopped dill weed, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, freshly squeezed lemon juice, a good extra virgin olive oil, no optional parsley, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for *** RAMADAN RECIPE TAG - 2011 *** -
Absolutely delicious, crunchy with loads of flavour, thanks for posting this. -
Refreshing & light! Perfect as a side dish for a hot summer day. Made for Ramadan Tag 2010

Thanks for visiting my page and reviewing my recipes. I found Zaar after I got married and it's been such a lifesaver and so much fun. I enjoy the games and DH and DS enjoy the food!I usually work as a surgical tech but since my son was born I moved into my new profession as a stay at home mom. It's a nice change I've been enjoying it and it gives me more time to COOK! I like to share recipes that I enjoy or have eaten at some of my fav places. I'm a San Diegan currently living in New York with my Husband and our 15month old Son.

When I first came to zaar I recipe selected mostly 4 and 5 rated recipes but now after playing several games and seeing the different ways people review. I realize so many recipes miss a good chance. So now I just go by ingredients or a good idea and choose my recipes based on that. I've been lucky enough to grow up eating a variety of cuisines from various cultures and have eaten at some really great restaurants from hole in the wall to 5star. So I let my palate do the choosing and so far I've had pretty good luck picking recipes.
I don't generally rate recipes by cooking time or exact measurement of ingredients unless it's a baking recipe or the temp and time were just way off. I also won't give a bad rating because of my lack of ingredients or skill. I don't measure when I cook unless it's baking. I give the recipe a good read and eyeball the amounts. This works for me. I know everyone has different tastes and I will be hard pressed to give a rating of 3 unless it just really didn't work for me. I don't see any reason to hurt anyone's feelings when I can just give a detailed review of my changes or no rating instead.
