Very good!! But I add 1/2 tsp. of sugar to mine, it really brings the flavors together.

Yummy! I have had this recipe saved for some time and have finally gotten the chance to make it...kinda wish I hadn't waited so long! I had about 1/3 very large cuke to use up; I halved everything else and it was perfect. Used green onion instead of chives as they were what I had. Thanks for sharing Andi!

We had a mixed review on these German cucumbers. I didn't realize that they had vinegar as well as sour cream and so it turned out that since I'm not a huge sour cream fan, it was a bit too tart for me. But my 16 year old granddaughter who loves sour cream really liked these. I'm taking them to a potluck lunch at church tomorrow along with the other 2 salads I made tonight. Thanks Andi for expanding my horizons in cucumbers. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
