Wow, I really enjoyed this tasty dish, it was so quick and easy, the hardest part was waiting a day to try it. The cucumbers are so spicy and flavorful, the texture is nice also. I love it. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I will make again and again. Made for Culinary Quest 2014 - Suitcase Gourmets.
