I took you at your word, Andi. You said it would be chunky, the amts were approx & I could make the recipe my own. I used about 1/4 of a lrg cuke, seeded & finely diced. It did not seem to release its liquid easily, so I seasoned it w/Old Bay instead of S&P. That worked well & it shrunk a lot. I subbed cocktail sauce for the ketchup to get a tiny bit of tang, added chopped Icelandic baby shrimp to a desired consistency & topped them off w/sprinkles of dill, Old Bay & a cpl of shrimp. So easy, all done, so tasty & all gone! Very pretty on the plate & well-received by my guests. Thx for sharing your recipe w/us. :-)
