Chill till thickened (a spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression), about 15 min. Stir in the cucumbers, onion and dill. Pour into a 5-c. mold. Chill till hard, 4 hrs. Unmold.

      I looked at several recipes for lime gelatin with cucumber recipes before settling on this one. I am glad it was the choice. Several others had reviews saying those recipes were blah, or too sweet, or on and on. But this recipe is just the right balance of sweet and sour. It is a light, refreshing gelatin salad with a nice crunch. I had to sub Greek yogurt for sour cream and a teaspoon of dry dill weed for fresh dill, but everything else was just as stated.
