Hubby said it well, "This salad is different, but good." I went ahead and truly stuffed my cucumbers since they were homegrown (with large seeds that I scooped out) and then served the tomatoes on the side. Next time I will sub Greek seasoning for the cumin in the cheese mixture. I used fat free feta with great success. Thanks for a fun recipe! Made for Veg*n Swap July 2009.
