I tried this yesterday and liked the garlic and honey, I never thought of that. I was a bit oily for me but I think I will try this again with a little less oil. Thanks for the recipe. -
This is a wonderful change, the honey really works in this recipe. I just tasted one of the leftover slices from last night, and it's still delicious; I can see how they would be a good addition to sandwiches, as suggested by another reviewer. With all the vinegars I keep around,I didn't have any white wine vinegar on hand, so I used white balsamic and cutback on the honey a bit to compensate for the sweetness; I think almost any vinegar would work in this, though, particularly rice wine vinegar. I used a little less oil, as well.

I'm always looking for new ways to serve salads. DH enjoyed this one very much. Made for PAC Spring 2010 -
I've prepared cucumbers in similar ways many times, but had never used honey--really enjoyed the flavor here and loved the inclusion of garlic. I don't believe this recipe should be thought of strictly as a "salad", though, as after the slices have marinated a bit, they are excellent on sandwiches. Thanks for posting!

My ratings:
5 stars:
I don't give out five stars easily - the dish has to be spectacular and something I would make again and again.
4 stars:
A good dish that I might adapt a little but something that I would put into my recipe collection.
3 stars:
I seem to give out a lot of these! These are dishes that are good but they are missing something or they don't live up to my expectations. I would not make them again simply because they aren't a favourite not necessarily because they were not good :)
2 stars:
A dish that for some reason didn't work out or I just did not like it :)
1 star:
I don't think I'll give any of these out!
