This is a sensational salad when made with super fresh, young cucumber and ginger. I didn't feel it needed anything else added as simplicity is the key here.

We like the sweet and sour flavor and it gets better the longer it sits. I made some last night and this morning it was even better. Thank you! Made for ZWT 4.

A perfect pairing of sweet and sour! We like this together with a spicy curry. The salad is light and works well to ease hot mouths. I knew that I wanted these ingredients together but didn't know amounts. This recipe is perfect on the amounts!

This is close to what I make. It is quick, simple, low caloric, light and healthy with a mild sweet taste of wine vinegar. Great served as a side dish or as is when the hunger pangs ensues. I kept some of them for tom..if it lasts. Love it! Thank you.

Yummy! Just what I was craving. I love spicy so I added some fresh sliced jalapenos to give it a little kick. The vinegar made it spicy but not too spicy. It was a nice contrast with the coolness of the cucumbers. I also added some very thinly sliced white onions.

This is very good. I was a bit anxious when I first tasted it because the flavors had not yet melded, so I added some cider vinegar and some celery seed. Both were very good additions. As my pic shows, I also added a few julienned carrots to give the salad a little more color. Next time I make this I will make as is and try to be patient until the next day to try it as written.

Wonderful, wonderful salad. I've made this twice in three days, including for a neighbourhood, barbecue lunch. It got rave reviews from everyone. My only change was to add some sprinklings of dried dill weed. Yummo! UPDATE: I am spending a year travelling through Africa on the back of a truck. Our cook group made a variation on this salad in Mali where cucmbers were cheap and plentiful. Had to leave the chili out as one of our 28 has an ulcer, but followed the rest. Everyone loved it and I'll be making it again soon. Thanks so much!

I have been making a variation of this salad for years, since I lived in Hawaii. It is a great use for my excess garden cucumbers. I use seasoned rice vinegar, plus sesame seeds. I'll try adding gingerroot..sounds yummy.
