Very nice salad. Made half the recipe. I sliced the carrots very thin but still enough to give a crunch. Also I discarded the seeds of the cucumber and cut it into half moons. This is certainly a salad I will make again. Thanks for posting. Made for India -- More Than Just Curries Tag Game -- March 2010.

What a delicious salad! I loved the use of cilantro & rice vinegar. It made a veggie salad into something special & this one will go into my keeper file. I added some sugar and cauliflower florets. Next time I will either blanch the carrots or slice them paper thin on a mandolin. I felt they would have been better a tad less firm. Thabnk you for sharing the recipe!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
