    This salad was a huge hit at our barbecue! The sweet lime dressing is so unique and delicious.

  • Casper Hamill

    The flavors were fantastic, but I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar.

  • Arthur Buckridge

    I loved the tip about partially peeling the cucumber – it made the salad look so elegant!
