soy sauce has too much gluten to be considered safe for celiacs... be warned!

This is delish - I used low sodium soy sauce which cuts the sodium level but doesn't affect the taste.

Why not use sugar substitute, cut salt to 1/4 tsp and use low sodium soy sauce. I also have B/P issue so must watch sodium but it seems like a whole tsp of salt is a lot

This sounds great. I think I'll try using low sodium soy sauce and trimming back the added salt. Should be just as good.

If you are on Atkins then the sodium should be fine unless your doctor says low salt for you. You can by lower sodium soy sauce. I made this using O carb sweetener and cut the seeds in half and it was wonderful and only it like 2.5 net carbs. If you are not yet able to have soy then don't add any soy sauce and if you are not able to have seeds then don't use seeds. Cucumbers, sweetener and vinegar is wonderful all by itself. You can also add sliced onion to this if you need to use up your net carb allowance.

I'm planning to try it. I will replay soy sauce with low sodium soy and the sugar with honey. I will let you all know how it tastes.

I really love this recipe! Substituted 3 tsp. of sugar for 3 drops sucralose and cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp. (personal taste) - overall, yummy! Will be making this again!
