I am not ignoring you, it was a busy day and I forgot to ask my wife. She makes it while I am handling the bbq. I just know it is based on the salad my mom used to make from her mothers recipe. I know you soak the cucumber overnight in salt water with minced garlic. Strain, rinse, and strain again. Then put them in a light dressing, maybe sour cream based, maybe miracle whip with a touch of vinegar, but light. Then it sits in the fridge for a few hours or days, as the liquid seeps out of the cucumber it's flavor is concentrated and the dressing gets thin. Sometimes my wife will add shaved red onion, and/ or carrots. Not part of grandmas recipe, but pretty good nonetheless. I found a recipe with all that and apple I am going to try soon.
