This light, fluffy sauce is delightful with cold sliced meats, tongue and the like, particularly for folks who don't like horseradish. It keeps refrigerated about 3 days with fresh raw egg mayonaise, a week or so with commercial mayo.

  6. Stir in Lemon Juice and Cucumbers, then Dill and Pepper.
NOTES:
  1. Cucumbers:

      Weight is for Persian, European or some other small thin skinned cuke you needen't peel or seed. If you have only Kirbys or standard waxed Green Blimps, peel, seed and then weigh.
  2. Mayonnaise:

      You can make your own fresh per our recipe Mayonnaise, or you can use a good commercial product. That means Hellmans (US East), Best Foods (US West), or Trader Joe's (mostly in Blue States).
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
