     I don't understand why people comment before trying it. Oh well. I have and it was good. It just seemed to me to be missing something to give it that "Wow" factor. But I liked the fact it's so healthy and a different type of side salad. - 7/9/13

     I, also, left out the cilantro and jalapeno (personal preference). Good refreshing salad for serving in HOT weather! - 7/9/13

     I goofed a bit--forgot to whisk the oil and lime juice together--and it was still very good. I will try it again--and will cut the cucumbers up smaller. I did leave out the jalapeno--didn't have any in the house. Will include next time! - 7/10/13

     Loved this. I did have to go and look up what the heck 'Cilantro' was first though. I have Coriander growing in my garden so there was no problem there. I used less lime though. I think this refreshing salad is going to be had a lot this summer (if it ever arrives) - 6/26/15

     Substituted lemon juice & zest and Italian parsley because that's what I had on hand. Really liked this and it was a nice change from a regular salad with lettuce. - 8/26/13

     It was ok - the lime was a little over-powering, especially after it sat overnight - it was really all I could taste. - 8/4/13

     Authentic_me - many folk know from the ingredients that they will not enjoy the recipe. But with some different ingredients, they may really enjoy it.
    Chillies or any hot peppers - I can't do. But I'll try it with different ingredients. I know this already.
    So I can comment before I make it - 7/9/13

     I'm not a cilantro fan, so I substituted fresh mint instead and left out the jalapeno. - 7/9/13

     Added a sprinkle of himalayan sea salt. Added a spritz of garlic powder. Diced up a beefsteak tomato. Subbed white pepper for the cracked black pepper. A little more zing. Did not use jalapeno. - 3/22/21
