CUCUMBER SALAD IN A CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING

Cucumber Salad In A Creamy Garlic Dressing image

If you like garlic, you will love the dressing on this cucumber salad. It better to make it ahead to let the flavors meld...I usually make it the day before...the dressing is great on salads as well. Enjoy!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

5 baby cucumbers, sliced thin - i use my mandolin ( if you like a sturdier cucumber after soaking in salt...slice them thicker.
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 red pepper, diced
2 medium tomatos, - i remove seeds, slice thin and cut into fourths - can chop if you wish
2 - 3 radishes - sliced thin
2 - 3 spring onions, sliced thin or 1/4 cup diced red onion
DRESSING
3/4 c mayonnaise
1/4 c sour cream
3 clove garlic, minced - i use food processor
1 /4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp each - salt & pepper
2 - 3 Tbsp milk

Steps:

1. In a medium bowl, mix all dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste to see if you want to add more seasoning. Cover and chill or even better if sits over night.
2. Place cucumbers in a colander and add 2 tsp kosher salt and toss to coat. Leave drain for 30 minutes...this removes much of the water and won't water down your dressing. After draining, rinse and place in a clean tea towel to dry. Place all prepared vegetables in a bowl and toss.
3. Spoon dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat all cucumbers, as they tend to stick together. I use my fingers, they are your best tools.
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!

CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD DRESSING

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing image

Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts.
