Good side dish. I halved the lemon, quartered the chili powder and used just an 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. I think you could probably get away with a quarter of the lemon too.

I wasn't thrilled with this, but it tasted alright. If I make it again, I think I'll cut back on the lemon juice and salt a little.

Like Lays Potato Chips, you can't eat just one. These are heavenly!! Nobody else in my family has had a chance to try them, because I can't leave them alone!

These were really good. Instead of usin a whole lemon I used bottle lemon juice. I enjoyed it very mch, but it got mushy on the second day.

Awesome! I have never had cukes this way and I LOVED them!! I doubled the recipe using 1t of chili powder and 1t sea salt... my DH said they were just like his mom used to make. :) I don't think I'll go back to using vinegar/dill with my cukes again, this was too good! Who would have thought, chili and lemon with cucumbers!! Thanks so much for sharing; I'll be making these all summer long. Made for PAC Spring 2008!!
