I'm not a huge fan of cucumber salads but this one is amazing! The pomegranate and feta cheese add so much flavor and richness. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad was a disappointment. The flavors just didn't come together for me. I think it would be better with a different dressing.

Meh. I found this salad to be too sweet for my taste. I think it would be better with less pomegranate or a more tart dressing.

I'm not usually a fan of cucumber salads but this one was surprisingly good! The pomegranate adds a nice tartness and the feta cheese adds a creamy richness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was a hit at my last summer BBQ! The combination of sweet pomegranate and refreshing cucumber is delicious, and the feta cheese and pistachios add savory richness. I highly recommend it!
