I made this with out the mint, simply because I didn't see any at the store. This is one of the best and easiest to make cucumber salads I have ever had.

I thought there was way too much vinegar in this recipe and it completely overpowered the dish. I would make it again but I would dice the cucumbers, use less onion, and half the vinegar. I thought the mint taste was subtle and quite enjoyed that twist.

Not a hit at our BBQ, there was an overpowering taste that took away from the freshness of the vegtables.

I always have mint growing in the garden and was glad to find another use for it! Had quite a bit of dressing left over after eating the salad so I cut some cherry tomatoes in half and marinated them for another salad the next day. I added some more mint as I really like the refreshing flavor combo.

My husband LOVED this salad so it was a hit at our house, but he is a big cucumber and tomato fan. I used less mint than called for (about 1/4 a cup) and it tasted great. If you love cucumber tomato salad, try it, but go light on the mint at first. I think 1/2 a cup could've been overwhelming. Also, definitely needs salt and pepper. Plan adding it at the end.

This was really delicious and easy! My grocery store didn't have fresh mint so I used fresh parsley instead. It was still good. I am dying to try it w/ the mint, though.

Refreshingly delicious! I used 3 large Kirby (pickle) cucumbers peeled, halved length wise and sliced. I didn't have any problems mixing them with soft tomatoes. The mint went perfectly with the tomatoes. This dish went very well with fried pork chops. I added cubed fresh mozzerella cheese to the leftovers for lunch the next day. Yummy!

Next time I will use a better quality vinegar because it was too pungent. Otherwise the mint & tomato was delish. Also, I think I will cut up the cucumbers a little smaller so that it blends together better. The thick slices didn't mix in well w/ the soft tomatoes. All in all, a great recipe for a gardner!

We loved this. As always, I used an English cucumber, and removed strips of peel with a potato peeler. Also used cherry tomatoes, as that's what I had on hand. I served this slightly chilled. Delicious. Thanks!

This was so refreshing! We just loved it. The only change I made is that I put in 3 tablespoons of olive oil and just under 1/3 cup of the red wine vinegar. Will definitly make this again!

This has a very cool and refreshing taste that is perfect for those hot summer barbeque parties. I recommend splurging to get good quality red wine vinegar so it does not overwhelm the flavor of this dish. I will definitely be making this often during the summer.

This is fantastic! A very refreshing salad I've passed on to many friends. Sometimes when I make it, I sub cilantro instead of mint. Both herbs are great-- the cilantro gives it a bit of a southwestern feeling.
