I had a lot of cucumbers to use so this recipe was great. I did cut the mint in half and I still thought it was a bit too much. I also cut the olive oil down to 2 tbs, and that seemed to work well. All in all a very refreshing side dish. Thank you!

I made this without the mint as my boyfriend hates it. Still came out yummy. I served it over couscous seasoned with a little salt, pepper, olive oil, and Asiago cheese.

This is a nice refreshing summer salad and a pleasant way to use fresh garden produce. I didn't have red onion so I used one from the garden. This didn't score a 5 in my book because it wasn't totally outstanding. Just nice and pleasant.

I omitted the mint and only let the cucumbers sit for 1/2 an hour in the vinegar and it was still so delicious! This is one of the easiest salads I've ever made. I will be bringing this to parties in the future.

I'm not a huge fan of cucumber, but this recipe is wonderful! The mint makes the salad. We had fresh mint in our garden and a cucumber from our neighbors' garden on hand. I used halved cherry tomatoes instead of the suggested large tomatoes, and cut back a little on the vinegar & the salt. Thanks for this great summer recipe!

7/13/06 I only used 1/2 the salt and 1/3 the oil to make it healthier still. (We will see if the left overs turn out.) I also used cherry tomatoes, quartered with seeds because that is what I have from my garden. It made a more attractive salad. I did not have any fresh mint so I used 1 Tbls. of dried crushed mint. It was wonderful!!P.S. Marinating with the salt draws out the water from the cucumbers, but I think that is the point, to make dressing. Try using 1/2 the salt and it should reduce the water.

Excellent salad. The combination of flavors, and especially the mint, remind me of wonderful foods we ate while living in the Middle East. For supper tonight, I paired this with a slow cooker Chicken Curry and rice. Thanks for this post.

I didn't have mint, but it's fine without it. I would prepare the salad right before serving as it got extremely watery. Very tasty though.

Greatastic salad! It's so fresh and healthy and I love the unusual touch given by sugar and mint. I used balsamic vinegar instead of red wine and didn't bother to marinate beforehand because I was in a hurry. I don't think it'd make a huge difference.

I made this salad for a big group of friends and nobody, including myself, liked it that much. I would suggest cutting down on the onions because the onion flavor really overwhelms the salad.
