Awesome!! I added some caraway seed to it as well, and sprinkled feta on top. Mmmmm! Very good. I will make this often for summer.

Very nice cucumber salad! I used 2 cucumbers and added some sunflower seeds right before serving for our taste, but followed the recipe as is otherwise. Thanks! Made for ZWT4 Zingo - Jefes de la Cocina!

Loved this simple salad. Very refreshing for a hot summer day. I did make a few very slight modifications. I used White Balsamic Vinegar because it is slightly sweeter than white vinegar (personal taste). I used quite a bit more tabasco sauce and pepper. I also had to resort to using dried chives and dill because that was what I had. I salted my cukes and let them rest in a colander in the fridge for a couple of hours instead of just 30 minutes. This goes in my 'keeper' file. Thanks.

This was just OK for us. I followed the recipe as written but we thought it needed some sugar as the mixture was too sour for our taste.

I used some green onions instead of chives and threw in a bit of minced garlic...delicious! I might try adding some feta as one of the reviewers suggested. Thank you for posting a terrific recipe.
