Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I used Splenda instead of sugar as that is what I buy. I didn't add the optional sesame seeds. The only thing I would do differently next time is to cut back on the salt a bit. I cut the recipe in half and hubby and I ate the whole thing with dinner.

A nice way to enjoy cucumbers! I halved the recipe. Thank you!

We all really enjoyed these. I used English cucumbers and Vidalia onions, and used my madolin to slice them both really thin. I used light sour cream in the dressing. I liked that the dressing was both a light flavor and didn't drown the veggies. A definite keeper!

Delish! I used fat free sour cream and sweetner instead of sugar. The dressing was delicious - I really loved the lemon juice in there. I think black sesame seeds would make this salad really pretty, as the plain ones kind of disappered in the salad. A must try cucumber salad! Thanks.

These are a nice change from what I grow up with. Mom always used mayo, milk and sugar. I liked that you can taste the sour cream without it being masked over by a lot of sugar. This is a great recipe, easy to make and I'll be making it again. I made these for ZWT III game 2007 - Scandinavian Region.
