I have made this twice. The first time I followed the recipe, but the second timet I changed it a little. Instead of putting the cucumbers into the dip, I cut the cucumbers into rounds and used them as dippers. I also added more garlic powder than listed in the recipe and I used mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip. I liked the second try better. It was good and I will make it again but It was not a rave dip.

This was great!!! I whipped it up in a matter of minutes: exactly as recipe suggested... just had to try it before it chilled. Served with Sesame crackers... Delicious!!!

I made this for the family as an appetizer before supper last night and everyone loved it! Very easy to make and great flavor! It looked pretty, too!
