In medium bowl, pour boiling water over gelatin and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until dissolved. Add vinegar and salt, and place bowl in refrigerator, stirring occasionally until consistency of egg white. Fold in cucumbers, celery, horseradish, and cheeses blend well. Continue to blend adding mayonnaise, onion, and dill. Pour into 6-cup mold which has been rinsed in cold water. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Unmold by running a small spatula around edge of mold invert onto platter and place hot towel over mold. Shake gently to release salad. Garnish with very thinly sliced cucumber which will cling to mold if thin enough. Place a small sprig of parsley or watercress on top of each cucumber.
