I absolutely adore these. Everyone raves about them and wants the recipe. The key to preparing these which these instructions leave out, is to slice the cucumbers and place them on a plate or a cookie sheet lines with paper towels. Sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt and let sit for a few minutes. Then dry them off real well with paper towels. Everything must be dry. This prevents your mixture from being runny. This recipe is easily doubled and I take it to events at our church. Great for a baby shower.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"07\/31\/2014 20:14","GUID":"b8051ee321014aff85bd0a763911517d","MemberId":5864552,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"annalee46","SubmittedDate":"07\/31\/2014 20:14"},{"Comment":"
