    Do you have any alternative, Passover-friendly, options to the vinegar used here? I was thinking cucumbers + mango or cucumbers + pineapple but I need some sort of unifying element. I wonder whether a splash of coconut water might work...

    This is delicious! I used two small, firm cucumbers with very few seeds (I believe they are called English cucumbers). I didn't peel them because they were small and I wanted to make it quickly. :) My mango was really juicy and, combined with the ume, this made such a great dinner salad. Even my alleged cucumber hater was slurping up the last few bites! Thanks, Elana!
