So easy, and very yummy for the summer! The chives give it a great zing! It's a keeper.

Made this for Easter as a cool side dish/salad option. Came out reallly sweet to our taste, but we dumped more sour cream, pepper, n salt until we could stand it. I think next time we'll try plain yogurt n see what happens... Thanks for something different! -Christina

I had cucumbers from my garden, so I went in search of a creamy recipe, using them. Yours was unique, in that it didn't require covering them in salt, first, to get the moisture out. Since I was in a hurry, I tried your recipe. I really liked it, although I did add snipped dill, as well, since I had it growing in my Aerogarden, along with the chives, and most other recipes called for it, too. It was light and yummy; although, since the cucumbers were not devoid of moisture, it became pretty soupy, quickly. I would recommend this recipe be made and eaten, within a couple of hours. Yum; thanks!
