What a wonderful salad and a nice change from our normal cucumber salad!!! I made this as written, but scaled back for just the two of us. This is so similar to ours for the first 6 ingredients, except we use apple cider vinegar and no sugar. We enjoyed the slightly sweet heat to the cucumbers!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 9. -
We loved this spicy/sweet salad...it's so refreshing on a hot summer day! I can see it being doubled or tripled for those who have lots to feed...but for hubby and me...it was just perfect...I served it as a side...but next time I think I will throw in some cooked shrimp to let them marinade along with the other ingredients for a nice lunch dish...this is a keeper...thanks for posting it...=)
