I found this recipe while reading the 9th edition of "A Taste of the Country" page 105. We love cucumbers, and since the day was setting up to be a hot one, this looked like a great alternative to the worn out salad. While ingredients may be an unusual combination, they really come together well. Low fat mayo and cottage cheese, along with sugar free gelatin helped trim a few calories. And I didn't bother peeling the cucumber since it was being shredded anyway. Everybody thought it was terrific. What a great way to enjoy cucumbers!
