Very authentic! I modified it for my taste; used 1/4 cup sugar, increased the vinegar, 2 tbsp of fish sauce, thinly sliced jalapenos, and basil. Very good!

This was great. I subbed agave nectar for the sugar, and added a diced jalapeno. Everyone really loved this dish.

Amazing! I used 2 medium cucumbers, substituted a yellow onion, one serrano pepper, added 1/2 a sweet orange pepper, 1/2 cup of fresh chopped cilantro, and 2 T sugar. Absolutely incredible flavor that became more and more delicious each day. My only warning: if you don't like the taste of rice vinegar or ginger, stay far away from this recipe.

Amazing! Although the recipe makes way too much food to be used as a side dish. 2lbs equaled about 8 large cucumbers for me. even in my family of my father, husband & two teenage boys who loved it couldnt finish it after two nights. will cut in half next time.

I think next time I'll omit the cilantro as it was strong and seemed to distract from the other flavors. Liked the mint in it, though. I had a similar dish in a Thai restaraunt and it contained shredded carrot which gave it some extra color. I used 3 cukes in this.

Really great recipe and really easy! I just threw everything together and let it sit for about 30 minutes before dinner. I made it mostly because I didn't have all the fancy schmancy stuff in other similar recipes, and would make it again even if I did have that other stuff. We didn't even use the peanuts or mint, and thought is was really yummy! Thanks!

This was great, I had plenty of cucumbers,tomatoes, and red onion fresh from my garden so I tried this recipe. I did substitute red wine vinegar for the white distilled (I didn't have white distilled). Next time I think I may try a tablespoon or two of fish sauce also.
