This recipe was perfect and I found it at just the right time! A neighbor shared her bounty of cukes & some had gotten quite large. It just got better as it sat too as the flavor really goes through it more & more! We especially liked it with corn chips. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing! (-: -
My guests raved about this dip! I made it with light cream cheese and weight watcher's mayonnaise, also added some parsley and fresh mint. Gorgeous! Thank you! -
This was excellent, and I didn't even marinate the cucumber overnight (just a few hours) so it probably tastes even better if you actually do what the recipe says!!! The first time I made it, I halved the recipe and forgot to halve the mayo - still tasted great. -
Easy and Great! -
Cool as a cucumber! I just added some dill and parsley. Very refreshing. I saved some to top a salad with. Thanks Debbie!

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
