This is very easy and quite tasty, but seemed to be lacking something at first. After the addition of about a teaspoon dried dill it was perfect for our taste! I also salted and drained, then rinsed and drained the cucumbers before putting it all together so it wouldn't end up watery (I don't know that it would have, but that's what usually happens when I make any kind of cucumber salad with creamy dressing). Even the next day, the dressing was still creamy with no hit of too much liquid.

This is even better than the cucumber salad I grew up with! I love how it makes such a creamy dressing. Thanks for sharing, it is replacing my family recipe!

I had to give this 5 stars!!! This is easy to prepare, looks great plated and has a nice crisp refreshing taste. Very much like the German cucumber salad that DH likes. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC spring 08'

This was very easy. I didn't have red wine vinegar so I used half white vinegar and half cider vinegar. My husband really liked it and I'm sure we will make it again.
