    Its quite tasty! The first time I made it I only had parsley available so I used that instead of dill. I used only 1 tsp. of salt based on a bunch of reviews and that was plenty. Delicious!

    Except that there are no paper thin slices of the cucumber, it is amazingly like the Trader Joe's version that I just polished off. :
