 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2  Cups          Boiling Water
    3      3 Oz. Pkgs.   Lemon Gelatin Powder
    1      Package       Unflavored Gelatin*
    1      Teaspoon      Salt
      1/3  Cup           White Vinegar
    1 1/2  Cups          Sour Cream
      3/4  Cup           Mayonnaise
    3      Cups          Cucumber -- peeled & grated
    2      Tablespoons   Green Onions -- chopped
 
 Pour boiling water over the lemon gelatin and stir until dissolved.  Add
 unflavored gelatin which has been softened, salt, and white vinegar.
 Place in refrigerator until gelatin mixture begins to thicken.  Beat
 with electric mixer until gelatin mixture is foamy, 2 to 3 minutes.
 Fold in, or beat in at low speed with mixer, sour cream and mayonnaise.
 Add cucumber and onion, mixing thoroughly.  Place in a well greased 2
 quart mold and chill until set, about 2 hours.  To unmold place a warm
 cloth around the mold to loosen it.  Garnish with cucumber slices so
 your guests will not mistake this for a lime dessert mold.
