   3                    Envelopes unflavored gelatin
     1/3  cup           Cold water
     2/3  cup           Commercial sour cream
     2/3  cup           Mayonnaise or salad dressing
   1 1/2  tablespoons   Grated onion
   1      tablespoon    Lemon juice
     3/4  teaspoon      Salt
     1/4  teaspoon      Dried whole dillweed

                        Lettuce leaves
                        Cucumber slices (optional)

Peel cucumbers, and cut in half lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds.
Coarsely chop cucumbers, and place in container of an electric blender or food processor;
 process until smooth. Set aside 2-2/3 cups puree. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water
 in a small saucepan; let stand 1 minute. Cook over medium heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
 Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, salt, and
 dillweed in a large bowl, mixing well; stir in 2-2/3 cups cucumber puree and gelatin,
 and set aside. Beat whipping cream until thickened but not stiff; fold into cucumber mixture.
Pour mixture into 8 lightly oiled individual 1/2-cup molds; cover and chill until firm. 
Unmold individual salads onto lettuce-lined salad plates, and garnish each with cucumber slices,
 if desired 8 servings.
