I just don't understand how the amount written is enough for 6 people. I multiply by 4.

This is a "saver" and goes into my Company's coming cookbook. The cucumber stays crunchy and what a great flavor. I served it with Sushi. The whole bowl disappeared. Thanks Sue for another great recipe

A very tasty accompaniment to Grilled Chicken Satay! Also great as a delicious alternative to the usual mixed greens salad we serve most often. I rated this recipe four stars instead of five, because I found the serving size a bit paltry for my heartier appettite.

This is a very tasty and cooling sidedish served with Tandoori Chicken and Spicy Indian Dahl(recipe #63075). I used buckwheat honey instead of regular and one very large English cucumber and four radishes - all peeled and sliced thin - instead of the two called for in the recipe. I will certainly make this again. Many thanks, Sue L.

Don't skimp on the marinating time. It tastes even better the next day.
