    Yep, too salty! So I added a can of drained, rinsed kidney beans and a couple seeded, diced amorosa tomatoes to dilute the saltiness and it was better.

    This had a really strange taste, and I thought I followed the recipe. The cucumbers tasted flat after salting and rinsing, and I was hoping to taste the sugar more--sounded like a good contrast with the vinegar and dill. I won't be trying this one again.

    I made this with the salt the first time and TIMED the 20 minutes of 'marinating' and it was way, way, way too salty. I threw it out and started again without soaking in the salt and it was perfect. Use the dressing, but omit the 'soaking in salt' part and you are all set!

    I made this to go with sweet/hot chicken wings, and it complemented the chicken nicely. I had to add extra sugar and white wine vinegar as otherwise it was too salty. May omit that next time. All in all, very good!

    It started out really salty. I might have done something wrong, but I added more sugar and some distilled vinegar and it turned out pretty good. It went really well with the sloppy joes from the same episode.

    I usually love cucumbers. I peel them and eat them just like that. I thought this recipe may be a nice change. Boy was I wrong. It was way too salty!! I still have the salt taste in my mouth - yuck! I followed the directions exactly - maybe it would be better with less salt. Don't know - I threw this away and don't plan to make it again.

    I didn't have sherry or white wine vinegar so I used rice vinegar and omitted the sugar. It's great. I look forward to trying it the way it was written.

    How do you give a BBQ without anyone knowing that you are dieting? This quick and simple dish is wonderful which everyone enjoyed as a change from mayo-laden recipes. Try it once and you will have it always!
