Simple refreshing salad that works well with my spicy tikka masala recipe. I have to agree with another reviewer that there is something missing, more on the sweeter side. Next time, I may add honey instead of sugar, carrots and green pepper. Thank you for the posting.

Great complement to a spicy Indian meal. I had to use dried mint since that is what I had, but next time will use fresh mint. I let it sit about 3 hours in the fridge and it was great! Thanks Parsley!

Wonderful! I love the blend of flavours in this. I have never used or even tasted cumin before this so I was a bit worried. It turned out to be GREAT. I had only one cucumber so I adjusted the amounts accordingly. I used a field fresh cucumber and didn't de-seed it as they are my favourite part. I enjoyed this thoroughly! Thanks for posting!

Fabulous and fresh cucumber salad. Great for the summertime - goes great with anything! Loved the addition of the cumin - I have had a similar salad that didn't have that. Of course, I mis-read the directions and added too much cumin, but it was still WONDERFUL. Thank you for another great side dish, Parsley!! ZWT3.
