I added some red onion to this salad, and I also used dry parsley and dill. So I only used about 1/2 tsp each. The dill in my opinion was very strong and overpowered the salad. I will make it again, but this time I will omit the dill altogether.

This was ok, but the seasonings as is are not my cup of tea. The parsley was overpowering and so was the dill. I took the advice of another reviewer and used garlic salt (and omitted the salt) so as not to have that raw, bitter, garlic taste. I added sliced radishes and thin pieces of red onion as well. But all I could taste was parsley and dill....I would probably attempt again but just decrease the parsley by half and I think omitting the dill altogether. Mind you, it is a great, low-carb recipe though and it's nice not to have a 'heavy-mayo' type salad.

This was a wonderful recipe. I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and it was great. Served with tacos and Mexican Beans (recipe also found in allrecipes.com

Easy Cucumber Salad Haiku: "Yup, this was easy. Nice that it wasn't 'creamy', like other salads." With a plethora of cucumber salads available on AR to sample, it was hard to settle on one, but with "easy" in the title, and a lack of a heavy addition of mayo, this one was a great recipe to land on. I went just a tad lighter on the sugar, but otherwise, followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of adding a couple slivers of red onion. Served alongside BBQ fare on a sunny weekend afternoon, and this was a crisp cool cukey side dish that we enjoyed.

Enjoyed! After reading the reviews, I halved the vinegar, and also used less dill. I added feta cheese and a little red onion (If you're gonna add red onions, I suggest covering them in cold water and squeezing them; rinse and repeat a few times. It makes them more mild - otherwise they can be really overpowering.)

This is a yummy side dish, no complaints on the recipe. I doubled the recipe when I made it because 1 cucumber didn't seem enough.
