Cooler Than A Cucumber Salad image

This recipe may be simple but its flavor is big and juicy. I think it would be fabulous alongside spicy Asian curries, quick stir-fries, herb-roasted dinners -- and yes, it would be perfect for picnics. This is a delicious make-ahead picnic salad. Make more than you think you'll need, because you just might want some for breakfast.

This salad was a disappointment. The cucumbers were bland and the dressing was too sweet.

This salad was a bit too vinegary for my taste, but I think I just used too much vinegar. I'll try it again with less next time.
