This was good, but it was lacking a little something. Next time I will try a little more cilantro, onion, and a splash of vinegar. I did add a little extra salt, and let it set over night. I think both of those things helped. I will try this again adding the above ideas.

I followed the recipe to the letter but found it lacked taste. I tweaked it and added hot peppers, and a drizzle of olive oil.......yummy now! I will make this again

Great light dish!!! I put sliced tomatoes and pieces of sliced fresh mozzarella cheese on a plate and then put this cucumber salad on top. It was awesome!! Next time I'll slice red onions for the top. Reminded me of an italian ensalata capresse (I hope I spelled that right).

I am not a spicy food fan at all and I lowered the amount of chili powder in this recipe. While it was a good way to use the extra cucumbers I had, I'm sorry I didn't use the amount suggested. There is no need cut the spice and in fact I'm going to try it again with more.

I thought that this salad was very quick and easy to make. That is a plus. I thought that it tasted a lot better the second day. It really should sit for at least 4-5 hours I would say. My sister didn't really like it but, my teachers really liked the salad. I had to make it for school. I would give the salad a 3 or 4.

You know what? I have to ammend my earlier comment - give this salad a day to marinate, and it is GREAT! I took my leftovers for lunch today, and I enjoyed it much more than last night. Make it a day ahead.

Nice and easy accompaniment to a meal. Since I don't like too much chili powder, I cut the amount in half. My husband thought it had a tad too much cilantro, but I love cilantro so it was fine for me. (Fresh, not dried, cilantro is a must!) Definitely let this chill for at least 2 hrs. for the flavors to blend.

The people that I served it to liked it. It has a different taste which is nice but I still feel something is missing. I would make it again.

This salad was fantastic! I added some hothouse tomatoes, used a little less pepper than was called for, and the recipe was perfect! Easy, quick, and tasty...I will definately be making this salad again and again and again.

This was AWESOME! I served it with grilled chicken and rice. I only had one cucumber in the house, so I added 1/2 of a firm tomato and some red onion. I also added a little fresh mint and some black pepper. Delicious! My 4 year old son asked that I make it for dinner tomorrow night!

This was great. To make it more kid friendly for my 4 year old (and my picky husband), I decreased the chili powder by about 3/4. It still left the flavor,but not the spiciness. Also, my husband said next time to only use 3/4 of the cilantro, but I thought it was fine. We served it with the grilled tuna recipe I also found here, with lime also, and it was perfect!

We made this salad 2 ways. The first time we used dried Cilantro and it was "ok" but not great. The difference is definitely fresh Cilantro. We had it as a side with grilled Swordfish and the tangy lime flavor was perfect with it. You definitely want to let this marinate for atleast 2 hours before serving it so the flavors have a chance to combine. This salad will be a staple this summer in our house.
