Love this! I do tweak the seasoning a bit and add a can of bite sized baby corn for color and extra crunch, but there is always a sealed container of a good cucumber salad in my fridge.

Wonderful, refreshing salad with lots of crunch. I made half the salad and served it with sandwiches for 2. Thanks for sharing! ZWT6

This is good. I found the flavors meld and the taste and texture was better a couple days after making this salad. I used vidalia onion, fresh chopped dill weed, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, freshly squeezed lemon juice, a good extra virgin olive oil, no optional parsley, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for *** RAMADAN RECIPE TAG - 2011 ***
