The cucumber didn't set in the fridge overnight, but the cheese mix was good anyway. I have used it again for dip.

Very good flavor combination. I made this for last year's Super Bowl Party and had a heck of a time with the preperation. The cheese mixture wouldn't stay in the cucumber, they didn't set up in the fridge. So I just put the cheese mixture in a bowl and cut up the cucumbers and served it as a dip. That went over very well. I plan on using the cheese mixture again.
