Delicious. The ginger flavor really got into the onion. Used splenda and the sweetness offset the tartness of the vinegar, though I might cut down on the splenda next time as it was a tad sweet. Can use with more than one cucumber.. Chunked the cucumber. This was great even the next day. Spooned a bit of the dressing over tomato wedges very good.

Exactly what I was looking for. Very popular with my family members, who are unfamilliar with Asian foods. Big thanks for posting.
