I made this tonight and we enjoyed this very much. At first my kids didnt notice the difference between cucumbers and the zucchini until I told them. We all liked this alot and I plan on making this many times when the zuchs are plentiful in our garden. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, I never thought about using zucchini with the cukes....great idea!

I omitted the onions and used a mandolin to slice very thin.This is a delicate delicious salad.Nice addition of zucchini that no one noticed.

I used splenda instead of sugar, cider vinegar instead of regular, added a purple bell pepper from the garden, and did not heat the water. I really like the spicy heat that lingers on the tongue after you have had a bite. I also liked that this is not as sweet as many cucumber salads. It was just right! Thanks for a great recipe.

Rita, Rita, this salad for cucumbers and zucchini was just stupendous! I normally follow recipes to the "tee" first, because I want to see the end result, and base my stars on that. I have to say, the only change was that I had already salted and soaked the cucumbers and zuccs. in salt and water, and drained. (Then I saw this recipe) The onion and hot pepper combine to make a sweetish-sour (not to sour) flavor that incorporates so well with the veggies. Much better then the store-deli makes. Made this for "Saturday lunch" at the farm, and those men wolfed the salad down before the rolls! Rita, thank you.
