Notes:
A+ excellent! We did loose meat instead of burgers - was great. Cucumber slices thin!! (vs. 1/4 inch) Less or no garlic in the salad (was great without and don't need the extra bite). Maybe add a small dash of rice wine vinegar to the cucumber mix? Didn't need the moisture, but the small dash may have enhanced.
