Best Cucumber Vinaigrette With Basil And Garlic Recipes

AMAZING CUCUMBER BASIL SALAD

Amazing Cucumber Basil Salad image

I created this salad because I had lots of fresh veggies and herbs from my garden that needed using up. It is so good, and because it makes its own dressing, it's very healthy as well. The flavor is best when left in the fridge overnight.

Cucumber Salad with Herb & Garlic Dressing (Vinaigrette) image

Recipe video above. Crisp, juicy cucumber and a tasty Herb & Garlic Vinaigrette makes for a sensational salad!! It's refreshing with extra flavour from the dressing - I can eat SO MUCH of this!! A touch of mustard is key here - thickens the dressing to help it coat the cucumber slices.
