Reviews
This recipe is same as my Mother used as far back as I remember
I felt like this recipe had much to much mayonnaise and not enough flavors that make cucumbers sing. Would have benefited greatly from more acid and more herbs.
Just like my mom used to make.
Husband kept reminiscing about milk sugar and vinegar on cucumbers but did not know the ratios. Sounded terrible but searched and found this recipe. It is quite good and my husband is a very happy camper!
In my previous review I stated that I added more mayo- I use more than 1 cucumber!
I liked it. I used Splenda instead of sugar and almond milk but it turned out great.
I like the flavor. Not quite the recipe I was looking for but still good. I added just a little more vinegar. Will make it again and add onion which I didn’t have on hand when making this.
I made keto so used stevia instead of sugar; i also added onions. I have made it three or four times already. I add a drained can of chicken to it and I love it as chicken salad too.
It is okay but I prefer sour cream or Greek yogurt over mayonnaise for this salad.
I sweated the slices of one English cucumber and thinly sliced onion for about an hour then followed the recipe for a half batch. Maybe next time I will cut the dressing down just a little, but a slotted serving spoon works well just the same. Thank you, this was a great summer salad!
we loved it
First, it’s delicious! Second, The ratio of sauce to cucumbers seems off. My little cukes were swimming in sauce. I used big ones too. Third, I added 1/4 red onion, very finely diced.
Better made with sour cream , garlic salt and paprika
This recipe was handed down from my grandmothers. Delicious!

This is the same recipe that my husbands grandma made also! Only difference was she added a little garlic powder.
O my one word. Delicious! I was asked for the recipe:)
i added sliced onion, about 3. I really like onions though, so for those who also do, I suggest to add it. I made the sauce just like the recipe calls for. Pretty good:) Will make it again.
Basically the same recipe my mom use it I love this thank you for sharing … she used to make an alternative with mostly vinegar but I prefer this one !!
My mom used to make a salad similar to this and sadly, I never asked for her recipe, but I think this is as close as I could come to it. I used mayo, not salad dressing, two large cucumbers, Stevia instead of sugar and a little more onion than what was called for. Also added quartered cherry tomatoes for a little color and added flavor. Delicious! Will definitely make again.
Absolutely the best! I add onions and a little more sugar!
