If you want a little southwestern zip, you can also add minced Jalepeno and cilantro.

This recipe is really good, but cut the salt to 1 tsp w/o effect. Also if you have an extra carrot stick &/or celery chop that up too. For Christmas use red and green peppers.

The recipe adapts easily to what ever # of cups of cukes that u have....double or 1/2 the recipe and it's ready in no time. I like the other ingredients just as they are and so does my family.

I would not put any sugar on this recipe because I'm diabetic

I believe there is too much sugar in this recipe. A few Tablespoons should be adequate

RE: CUCUMBER SALAD

I make a similair salad but use red, yellow or orange bell peppers when they're in season. Also use sweet onions, like vidalias, maui or walla-walla. It makes the salad "more" like sweet & sour. Always a hit wherever I take it.

This is a GREAT salad, however, my family likes it better without the green peppers.
