Loved this cucumber salad! It's definitely got more 'oomph' than the usual cucumber salads. I made this according to the recipe. I thought it was best after chilling for several hours. Thanx for posting this great salad!

What a great salad. I was a bit worried that the mustard and horseradish would make for a bitter salad, but that wasn't the case. Refreshing and full of flavor.
