I love this name! My mom used to make something similar to this only without sugar and instead fresh toasted sesame seeds. Supper refreshing salad, I love it!
i knew i was going to like this! and i did. very simple yet very delicious.
i imagine this would be a big hit at grill party.
Came home with 7 cucumbers from my CSA share and what to do? Cucumber salad. Made it with the additions as Greg suggested and before I put it in the fridge, tasted it and it was good then. I knew I had a keeper with this recipe!
