Mom's Cucumber Salad

Submitted by Mrs. Wright

"This is the only cucumber salad I knew, until I ate at a friend's house when I was about 14! Mom and Grandma both made it this way...ok they used regular Miracle Whip, I use fat free."

Miracle Whip is practically non-existent here so I followed another reviewers tip and used mayo with a little sugar and vinegar. Unfortunately we found the salad to be a little bland, it needed some more "zing". I did use hot mustard but still. Anyway, I did enjoy making it and sampling it. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC, Fall 2009.

Cool and refreshing cucumber salad. I used light mayo and added sugar and vinegar to be tangy like Miracle Whip. I enjoyed the mustard flavor. I felt it needed a little something extra so I added some dill weed. It was awesome. Thanx for posting your gramma's recipe!

This was very tasty! Tasted a lot like potato salad minus the potatoes. I wanted more of a zing, so I added a small splash of vinegar and a small splash of dill pickle juice. It helped to make the sauce thinner. Very good. I also used celery salt instead of regular salt. Very good and so easy! Thanks for sharing.
