Your rating: None Average: 4 (38 votes)

Sliced cucumbers tossed with rice-wine vinegar make for a refreshing and simple summer salad.


READER'S COMMENT:
"It was OK, but I think my mistake was in thinly-slicing the cucumber into 'chips' -- this resulted in too many slices and not enough liquid with which to adequately cover them. "
