Very nice tasting salad, just tangy enough, yet sweet as well! Especially liked the subtle flavor of garlic, although another time I might add just a tiny bit more since I like it so much! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed for a teammate in our vegetarian group in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap]

Great summer side! Refreshing and really good. I really liked the sweetness the sugar gives the cucumber dressing. Made for ZWT 4

Wonderful cucumber salad!!!! I added a little garlic salt to replace the rubbing of the garlic clove and left out the sugar, but other than that didn't change the recipe!!! Well I should say except to make it for 2 people. I don't think it was too much vinegar, just right!!! But I guess that is all personal preference!!! Thanks Laffer for a great recipe!!!

Made for ZWT4...I loved these. The kids would not eat them but I had no problem with eating them. I did make a smaller quantity because I did not think the kids would eat it. I will make this for me often.
