Awesome recipe. Made this salad according to the directions for a potluck. Everyone loved it and ask for the recipe.

To me and my love of cucumbers and all things spicy this is a dream come true. Absolutely delicious in every way. The spice is just perfect and *not* hot at all. The green onion, the garlic, the turmeric is glorious in the taste combination. The only thing I didn't do is slice the cucumber lengthwise. Before I knew it, I had sliced penny-way (is this really a word?) anyway, they looked like pennies. Sorry about that. But next time I will slice lengthwise as in directions. Either way, this is a delicious way to serve this oriental recipe and I could probably sit and eat the whole cucumber and dressing in one sitting whilst I while-away the afternoon pondering why I didn't put in more cucumbers for the coming summer season. Made for you with many thanks!
