Oh my goodness… delicious! I cannot understand why people changed anything about this recipe. I, personally, would not change a thing. Delizioso!

Absolutely delicious -  I'll be making this again.

This is very good and I'll be making it a lot to compliment grilled foods.

I always laugh when I read these reviews.  So many substitutions that it isn't even the same recipe anymore, but someone gives it 5 stars!  I will definitely make this just as written before I write a real review.

Too much sour cream for me, though it was tasty.

I plan on making this dish. Sounds delicious. I am from Corunna, Michigan. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Just delicious!!  I make this very often.

Have made this multiple times. I always use 3-4 garden cucumbers. Also I prefer to peeled cucumbers for the salad. Leftovers are best if you do the salt and blotting process, although still edible the next day if you don't. This is one of the family favorites, during the summer.

Awesome recipe, almost identical to what my family prepares.  We use apple cider vinegar and more garlic.  Try with roasted garlic if raw is to sharp or bitter for your taste.  Great share, thanks!

I loved it, cool and refreshing. My mom used to do make hers simular to this one, took me back many years.

I made this for labor day and did not have much leftovers. I used everything from the garden which was nice. I used 6 small cucumbers instead of the english cucumbers. I also used half fat free sour cream and half light. I feel like next time I might decrease the amount of sour cream and try greek plain fat free yogurt.

Made this for brunch and was big hit.  Very refreshing, great flavor with the dill and red onion.  I don't think I put enough salt on the cucumbers to drain the water out so will do that next time so it keeps for leftovers longer.  Was really easy to make which is nice.  Will make this one again.

Have made this for years and grew up eating it. The only difference is I use red wine vinegar instead of white. SOOOOOOO good!

A big hit - reminded my husband of his Grandma's cucumber salad!!  It was so easy to make too!

I have made this salad for years, it is a staple on my summertime dinner table.  Its super quick & easy & I always have everything on hand.  I partially peel my cucumbers lengthwise leaving green stripes of skin, I think it makes it look pretty.  I use a mandolin to slice very thin. Perfect for a potluck or a BBQ...especially when you have something else that may be spicy or piping hot on the plate.  It is refreshing & the addition of the  garlic is key...it's what is missing in all the other cuke salad recipes.   I use dried dill if I don't have fresh, just sprinkling it on top before it rests in the fridge.  Mix together just before serving.

Surprisingly, my kids who love tzatziki didn't care for this, but that's very much what it tastes like!  It was a little fussy to blot all those cucumber slices, but otherwise simple to make.  My son suggested it might be better with crumbled feta added.

I didn't like this recipe at all, mostly because I don't like cucumbers (although I wasn't a big fan of the dressing either).  My husband liked it as did most of the people I shared it with, though. The dressing was very runny and watery even though I followed the directions carefully with the salting, standing and drying. The dressing didn't stay on the cucumbers at all as the picture indicated it would.

Thanks for sharing this recipe Patty! With a bumper crop of several varieties of cucumbers this summer I've been looking for tasty

Made it today and it was wonderful! I did, however, substitute plain yogart for the sour cream.

Best cucumber salad I've ever tasted. I realized when I was adding this recipe to my permanent recipe file that I had omitted the sugar but I can't imagine this being any better so I will leave it out from  now on.

I I prepared this recipe on 6/12/13!  I did make modifications to it-I just used 1 Tbsp.cider vinegar, 1/2 cup Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing!  I also used half of asliced red onion and instead of dill, I usedfresh chives from our chive patch & finely cut the chives!  I'd say it was about 1/8 cup!  I did keep the salt amount the same & I partially peeled the cukes-I used 3 regular cucumbers!  I did use both the garlic cloves and the ground pepper, but purposely omitted the sugar!  I also used the salt on the cuke slices, tossed, then let sit for the 15 minutes, & drained the liquid off the cuke slices/blotted with papertowels.  My Mom & I served it the following evening for a salad dish and my Mom really liked this recipe-It's delicious!Patty LaNoue Stearns, Thank you for sharing this recipe from your mother'smeal!  delowenstein
