Best Homemade Cucumber Ranch Dressing Mix Recipes
EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES
These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.

MIXED-BEAN CRUDITE WITH CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a vigorous boil. Add about a teaspoon of salt.
- Snap off the ends of all the beans, leaving the tail on if desired
- Cook beans and peas in separate batches, starting with the snow peas and ending with the haricots verts, just until color is brightened and they are crisp-tender. They should bend without snapping but not be at all limp, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into an ice-water bath.
- Once beans have cooled completely, drain in a colander, shaking to remove as much excess water as possible. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel and gently pat away remaining moisture. Loosely wrap vegetables in the towel and chill for up to 2 hours.
- To make dressing: Grate cucumber on the large holes of a box grater.
- In medium bowl, mix together cucumber shallot, sour cream, buttermilk, and mayonnaise. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, parsley, chives, and cayenne pepper. Season with more salt and cayenne, if desired.
- Arrange vegetables on a platter and serve with dressing for dipping.
