This recipe was a fail. The cucumbers were soggy and the dressing was bland.

I'm not sure I would make this again. The wasabi flavor was a bit too strong for me.

I used a different type of vinegar and it still turned out great. This recipe is very versatile.

I'm not a big fan of wasabi, but I actually really liked this salad. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the cucumbers were nice and crunchy.

This was a refreshing and delicious salad! The cucumbers were crisp and the wasabi and rice vinegar dressing was the perfect balance of spicy and tangy.
