This is excellent cucumber salad and so simple. Made for ZWT 4 and went really well with frittata that I was also making. Thank you Merlot for posting this!

Very good side dish, salad! And I am so glad you stressed the importance of letting the cucumbers drain well! This made the sour cream really cling to the cucumbers. The taste is super good. This is a keeper. Thanks Merlot!

Perfect hot weather dish. Serve this as a side dish to accompany any curry dish! MMmm. Amazing the amount of water you get out of the cucumbers, if you didn't do this step the whole thing would be watery - Glad that you stressed this point Thanks Merlot this is a keeper
