We enjoyed this but I think we would've liked it even more if it had been chilled for awhile to give the mint time to blend with everything else. I would make it again because it's a great healthy side salad. Read More

Good. Make sure you cut the watermelon same size as the cucumber or the cucumber will fall to the bottom and larger chunks of watermelon will sit on top. The flavors won't blend together. Read More

I really enjoyed this salad after chilling for a short time. Raw onion upsets my stomach but I decided to go for it anyway to see how it tasted as is. I used regular onion as I didn't have red and sliced it thick so I can pull it out of my serving easily. That said the next day the onion taste was too strong for me- I liked it better after tasting it slightly chilled the night before. I will definitely make again and skip the onion. May add cilantro to add to the flavor. My son really enjoyed it. Read More

Just as the name implies this is refreshing. It s a wonderful combination of flavors and a perfect use of the cucumbers in your garden. This would be perfect for any summer cookouts. Read More
