This recipe is a waste of time. The salad is bland and boring.

I've tried this recipe several times and I've never been able to get it right. The dressing is always too watery and the cucumbers are always too tough.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very good. The dressing was too sour and the cucumbers were too soft.

This was the perfect side dish for my grilled salmon. The cucumbers were crisp, the dressing was tangy, and the flavor was amazing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. I always have a few cucumbers in my fridge, so this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

This Japanese cucumber salad, or sunomono, was a delightful addition to my dinner table. The combination of crisp cucumbers, tangy vinegar dressing, and the subtle sweetness of the sugar created a refreshing and well-balanced dish. I highly recommend
