Rave reviews by everyone who tried it. I used 1 1/2 c sugar and celery salt to taste as that's what I had on hand. Salad cukes from the garden which I halved and seeded. There was plenty of "juice" leftover so I saved it and after another visit to the garden made another batch the next day. I agree with the reviewer who said it tastes a lot like bread n butter pickles. Better even!

Delicious! I made a few changes: I cut the sugar in half and felt it was plenty sweet enough. I used a red pepper and red onion and I threw in some bean sprouts just before serving. The colours were very pretty together. What a nice refreshing salad-crunchy and light! Not having oil in the dressing makes it low-fat too! Do not omit the celery seeds-they go so well with the cucumber!

I often do cukes in sweetned vinegar but this recipe is special - the onion, sweet pepper and celery seed set it a bit above the rest. I served it with California Roll Crab Sushi. Perfect combination. I only made a small portion of the recipe and cut back on the sugar -it disappeared very quickly Thanks Bobtail for this recipe that is moving into my favorites
