I whipped this up to make a sandwich filling for a pita for lunch today. I didn't bother with the food coloring since I didn't care if it was "pretty" or not. I halved this recipe, finely chopped the cucumbers and used about 1/3 of a small grated onion. I'll probably use significantly less onion next time because the onion was very overwhelming for me. Nonetheless, this was a very tasty, easy sandwich filling and I can easily see myself using this as a dip for crackers. Thanks for posting!

5 *'s all the way! I forgot to press out the juice in the cukes, so the consistency was not as thick as it should have been, but that did not affect the taste. I used light cream cheese and regular mayo, following the rest of the recipe as directed. DH and I had some with Ritz sticks and today, I had it over sliced tomatoes for lunch. It would make a great low fat recipe, using light mayo and light cream cheese. I also intend to try it on gyro burgers! Thanks MelodyH!
