I'm not rating this because I have not tried it yet, but some of the reviews were awful. Peoples tastes are different, you either like it or you don't. No sense telling others not to try a recipe because they may love it. Tom J

I was excited to try this new recipe b/c I love cucumber salads, but I did not care for this! Maybe it was the lemon juice, not sure but it was bitter and just not good.

I can't bring myself to rate a recipe badly. I think it takes a lot of guts to post one for thousands of strangers to judge. Having said that, as written, this didn't work for me. Obviously, one cup of sour cream per cuke is over the top & I added it a spoonful at a time until everything was just lightly coated. I liked the addition of mint, that was a nice touch but after tasting, I also added fresh dill & cracked black pepper. Not bad, just not something I'll make again. Thanks for letting me try it, though:o)

I've made this many times—it is very healthy, has a clean taste. I agree with most that the dressing amount is more than double what you need, so I half the quantities of all the dressing ingredients, otherwise it would be garlicky and sour. Don't remove the olive oil- it needs body. I like that the recipe is versatile—sour cream or yogurt, mint or dill. I love garlic, but I use only a small clove in this recipe, because it really amplifies as it sits.

This was a hit the first night and "even better" the next day. The seasoning level was subdued, but right for a salad with cucumbers in it (want to taste the salad and not just the seasoning). This will be added to our regular family rotation - for each of the four families gathered for our Labor Day festivities!

This was hard for me to rate - because like most of the other reviewers, I made some major changes. I only used one cup of low fat sour cream (next time I think I will reduce to 2/3 cup). I also used dill instead of mint and increased the pepper to 1/4 tsp. With these changes, it was good, but not amazing.

Yummy! I used a bit less sour cream as recommended everywhere in the ratings. I skipped the lemon juice and added probably a good teaspoon of ground dill. Added some tomato and vidalia onion and as recommended elsewhere added about a teaspoon of sugar.

This was okay, but certainly not outstanding. I should have read the previous reviews, because I would have known to at LEAST cut the sour cream in half. Also, I agree it was bland. I couldn't figure out what it was missing. Something....

This recipe sounded SO good, but there wasn't enough flavor. It was very bland. It didn't taste BAD, but it sure didn't leave any impression.

I fixed this tonight and we really enjoyed the cool and bright flavor. I used fresh dill because I didn't have mint. I used about half the sour cream called for and added lots of sweet onion.

Everyone else's review are right - the amounts of sour cream are way off, but the flavor is DELICIOUS. We've made again and adjusted all amounts. Yum.

This was great! Quick and easy! It probably only took me 10 minutes total to do this. I used dried mint and it was still really good.

Everyone loved this with some modifications. I used 1 cup fat free sour cream, 2 cloves of fresh garlic and basil instead of the mint, and a quarter of a red onion, chopped, and lots of cut up tomatoes from our garden. We had a huge bowl of this at the start of the meal and by 9 pm it was all gone.

Good for cucumber salad, and fast & easy. I used the yogurt option rather than sour cream. I agree -- WAY too much dressing. Wish I'd read the reviews first, but was in a rush. I think other spices could be used: curry or cayenne or cumin.

I was out of sour cream and yogurt when i made this recipe so i had to use ranch dressing. it was yummy but i only used 1/2 of a cup of ranch dressing instead of the suggested 2 cups and i can't imagine using anywhere near that much!! the lemon was a slightly overpowering so i would use a little less next time but other than that it was great!! i even thought about making gyros the next day to use up the extra sauce!

This was pretty good. I didn't have any mint so I used dill. Hubby asked for seconds so I'll keep it on hand for a quick bbq side dish.

I made this recipe without the lemon juice, and I cut the sour cream down to 3/4 of a cup- because I feel that 2 cups is way too much and it overpowers the other flavors. I also added about 1/2 t salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, with a sprinkling of dill weed to pump up the taste! A great and easy recipe!

This was an interesting salad. I made it the nite before so it was a litttle watery but everyone loved it as an afterdinner type salad to clean the palate. I left out the olive oil, used dried spearmint, yogurt and 5 cukes.
