This was so good, and so very easy too. I never thought of squeezing water out of cucumbers, I will try this in a couple other of my cuke dishes as well. This is very much a throw together dish, but no one would know from the results. We have lots of fresh cucumbers right now, and this was a refreshing change from the usual recipes I use. Definatley a keeper! Thanks for a great new summer recipe!

Now, a little about me . . .
It's hard to believe I've been a member for over 7 years now! Once I discovered Zaar, I never looked back at the other sites. This place is truly like family, sitting around sharing great recipes, helpful hints and just chit-chatting about our daily lives.
Hubby and I were fortunate enough to be able to retire early and now enjoy traveling in our motorhome :) . Our travels have taken us all over this great country of ours and meeting new and exciting people along the way is an extra bonus. We are blessed. We usually alternate between Florida Keys and Arizona for the winters. The rest of the year, you can find us just about any place. We love our home on the lake, but there is a bit of gypsy in us both and we hit the road as much as we possibly can.

I guess my biggest pet peeve is people who are negative all the time. Because I enjoy life so much, I try to avoid such people. Life is too short.
