Alexander on 2024-12-01 (5 stars): My overall diet is healthier and tastier because of this one salad. I buy the ingredients every time I go grocery shopping. I also like to add avocadoes.
Tracey @ Don't Mess with Mama on 2014-04-02 (4 stars): This looks delicious! I make an Asian cucumber salad all the time but this is a nice change and I love the mint.
