  1. So easy, and very yummy for the summer! The chives give it a great zing! It's a keeper.
     
  2. these were good. I liked the chives in this dish.
     
  3. Made this for Easter as a cool side dish/salad option. Came out reallly sweet to our taste, but we dumped more sour cream, pepper, n salt until we could stand it. I think next time we'll try plain yogurt n see what happens... Thanks for something different! -Christina
     
  4. I had cucumbers from my garden, so I went in search of a creamy recipe, using them. Yours was unique, in that it didn't require covering them in salt, first, to get the moisture out. Since I was in a hurry, I tried your recipe. I really liked it, although I did add snipped dill, as well, since I had it growing in my Aerogarden, along with the chives, and most other recipes called for it, too. It was light and yummy; although, since the cucumbers were not devoid of moisture, it became pretty soupy, quickly. I would recommend this recipe be made and eaten, within a couple of hours. Yum; thanks!
     
  5. I had two cucumbers I needed to use up so made this as a side dish tonight. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I used Splenda instead of sugar as that is all I buy. This was good but even after letting it sit for six hours I thought it could have used more flavor.

  1. We enjoyed this cucumber side! I left the peel on because it`s good for you. Made half the recipe. Used scallions in place of the chives. But did garnish with dried chives.Used low fat sour cream & still was creamy! Thanks for a creamy recipe!
