I don't have a recipe per se, but my family (grandmother) used to make such a 
dish. The cukes were sliced very thin and the sauce if I remember correctly 
was either Mayo or Miracle Whip (oh, no, here we go again) and milk with salt 
and pepper added. It's funny because when we were tolerating :) the MW 
discussion, I kept thinking about that recipe. 
I used to  help make it and vaguely recall 1 cup MW to .5 cup milk, and 
season to taste.

Hope this is helpful

This was a main staple at Sunday dinner. I am as well, Canadian, although 
that may be irrelevant in this case.
