Sweet-Tart Cucumber Salad image

I'm allergic to onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The salad was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out way too sweet. I think I added too much sugar.

The dressing is a little too sweet for my taste, but I fixed that by adding a little bit of vinegar. Overall, it's a good recipe.
