This was a miss for me. The flavors just didn't come together. I think I'll stick to my usual cucumber salad recipe.

This was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just because I'm not used to eating wasabi. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! I used sushi-grade cucumbers and they were perfect. The dressing was also very good, with a nice balance of flavors.
