"A change from the usual vinegar cucumbers. A great combination of sweet and tart. Cucumbers will "juice" as they chill."

Simple and cool and not heavy like some creamy cucumber salads. I used fresh lemon juice, which I recommend over the bottled. This is fantastic as a crisp, cool snack or side dish. Ideal for summer garden cukes. Thanx for sharing!

This is very good switch from the usual cucumber salad. I added tomatoes, onions and hungarian was pepper. Very good.

Yummy. You're right, jp. I've made the vinegar recipe often. This is a nice change. For our tastes, it was a little too sweet. Will decrease the sugar down to 1 Tbsp. A good healthy recipe, easy to prepare, great taste, what more could you want. Thnx for posting, jp.
