Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 red onion, halved and sliced into medium-thick pieces
2 English cucumbers, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the salad: In a small pan over medium heat, bring the red vinegar to a simmer. Meanwhile, place the onions in a small mixing bowl. When the vinegar comes to a simmer, pour it over the onions (you can add additional water to cover the onions, if needed). Set aside while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • Place the cucumbers in a large mixing bowl, season with the salt and toss. Add the tomatoes and gently combine.
  • For the vinaigrette: Place the basil, oil, shallot and red wine vinegar in a blender and process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and briefly process again to combine.
  • Add the dressing to the bowl with the vegetables. Drain the onions (reserve the vinegar for another use or discard) and add them to the cucumbers and tomatoes, tossing everything gently to combine. Garnish the salad with the dill and serve right away.

CUCUMBER HERB VINAIGRETTE



Cucumber Herb Vinaigrette image

As the base of this herb-spiked dressing, pureed cucumber provides a mellow grassy flavor and a luxurious texture. Pureeing vegetables into a salad dressing is a great way to give it body (and to sneak in more low-cal vegetables). Experiment with tomatoes, arugula and/or roasted garlic to create your own dressing magic.

CUCUMBER VINAIGRETTE



Cucumber Vinaigrette image

This can be used as dressing on terraines or gelees or serve it with mixed fresh veggies as a dip. Very low calorie and tasty Added comments 24 July 09 I think what may be missed is that this is to be used as a condiment on perhaps a Terraines or a Gelles so the flavor of the Vinaigrette will compliment not rule.. It should be slightly chunky in texture not smooth. I am sorry that it has been a disappointment to all three of you.
