CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD DRESSING
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.

- For a smoother dressing, peel the cucumbers before blending. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - To make a thicker dressing, add more Greek yogurt or sour cream. - To make a lighter dressing, add more water or milk. - For a more flavorful dressing, add some fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or basil. - Serve the dressing immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Conclusion:
