I usually love cucumbers. I peel them and eat them just like that. I thought this recipe may be a nice change. Boy was I wrong. It was way too salty!! I still have the salt taste in my mouth - yuck! I followed the directions exactly - maybe it would be better with less salt. Don't know - I threw this away and don't plan to make it again.
Tasty

I didn't have sherry or white wine vinegar so I used rice vinegar and omitted the sugar. It's great. I look forward to trying it the way it was written.
Flavorful, healthy and no one is the wiser!

How do you give a BBQ without anyone knowing that you are dieting? This quick and simple dish is wonderful which everyone enjoyed as a change from mayo-laden recipes. Try it once and you will have it always!

This is a simple and great tasting summer salad. I chopped the onions finely as I am not a big onion fan. I also went a little light on the dill as I was afraid of putting too much. Excellent!
just the ticket

I found this salad to be easy and delicious. My husband would've preferred the onion diced, but I liked it just the way it is.
SOOOO Delicious!

This was the easiest and most delicious salad I have ever made. My mom makes a salad like this, but is a sour cream base. This is much healthier and without all the added calories. I made it for my coworkers and they loved it.
Delicious and light!

My bf who does not like cucumbers even liked this dish! It was a bit salty, but I think I may have left it in the salt about 10 minutes too long. Next time I will make sure to wash the cucumbers better and after exactly 20 minutes.
Laughably simple!

And oh so delicious! I only had one English cucumber so I supplemented with a carrot and some radishes. Very important to not leave the mixture in the salt for too long otherwise the final product may be a bit too salty. Thanks, Ellie; love your recipes!

This is the best cucumber salad that I have ever eaten. The recipe is absolutely perfect. Make sure to wash out the salt prior to adding the final ingredients.

It was a perfectly light side to my dinner. I would recommend making it with sweet onion with the red onion. I havent yet tried it with sweet onion but i think it would go nicely. It was very easy and it took like 2 seconds to make!
Delicious, cool and refreshing

I love this! It's not as tart as a pickle, but it gives the cucumbers a slight flavor...this is my new favorite salad!

This was wayyy too much dill for me - I couldn't even eat it. Next time I will only use half the dill (or less!) and it will probably be great. I just can't tell because all I can taste is dill!
Salty, but fixable

User: John from Oviedo, FL User Rating:
Yep, too salty! So I added a can of drained, rinsed kidney beans and a couple seeded, diced amorosa tomatoes to dilute the saltiness and it was better.
Refreshing!

This was paired perfectly with the sloppy joes!This makes for a great summer side dish as well.
Did I do something wrong?

This had a really strange taste, and I thought I followed the recipe. The cucumbers tasted flat after salting and rinsing, and I was hoping to taste the sugar more--sounded like a good contrast with the vinegar and dill. I won't be trying this one again.
Great!!!

I made this with the salt the first time and TIMED the 20 minutes of 'marinating' and it was way, way, way too salty. I threw it out and started again without soaking in the salt and it was perfect. Use the dressing, but omit the 'soaking in salt' part and you are all set!
Nice

I agree with the previous review that "something is missing". I found the vinegar/sugar dressing too strong for my liking so I added 1 tsp of olive oil and that added some dimension to the flavor.
quick and easy

Very good and very easy. It seems like something is missing with this recipe though. It could use a bit more flavor.
Love the lightness..

I made this to go with sweet/hot chicken wings, and it complemented the chicken nicely. I had to add extra sugar and white wine vinegar as otherwise it was too salty. May omit that next time. All in all, very good!
It was good

It started out really salty. I might have done something wrong, but I added more sugar and some distilled vinegar and it turned out pretty good. It went really well with the sloppy joes from the same episode.
