"This is my mother's recipe and it is wonderful. I use fresh cucumbers from the garden, but it also works well with store bought cucumbers. Tastes best if left overnight to marry."

This was easy to make. While it sets for an hour you can get the rest of your meal ready. Or make it the day before to let the flavors blend. I seeded the cucumbers, used a sweet Vidalia Onion, dried dill and the plain yogurt in preparing this. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game
