Not all salads need lettuce or spinach. Thin-sliced cucumber salad with sweet vinegar dressing makes a light, refreshing side dish for outdoor summer meals.

  1. souschefmatthew12345 REVIEW:

    I drain this before serving. Very good flavor. The hard part is slicing everythign so thin.

  2. Nedivah REVIEW:

    I made this salad tonight and added a tomato along with one bunch of broccoli. The dressing was the perfect combination. My entire family enjoyed it and my son went back for seconds!

  3. Ron REVIEW:

    I added a thinly sliced apple (both to extend the salad a little and to get rid of my last apple). It was delicious! And yes, the recipe really does need the full 15 tsp. of sugar.

  4. rettale REVIEW:

    I really love this recipe. It's easy and really tasty - I also added some chopped tomato. Have sent it to several friends. Retta
