Cucumber and dill is always a pleasant combination. When I made this the first time I didn't know what to expect. It has a nice crisp taste and is good on fresh salads.

Provided by Kathy W

Categories     Dressings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 6 inch piece seedless cucumber, peeled
1 clove garlic (use a small clove)
3/4 c mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped or 1 tbsp dry
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Puree cucumber and garlic in food processor. Place puree in a fine mesh strainer, press down gently with a spoon and let drain. (Cucumbers are largely water, so if they are not well drained, the dressing will be too thin)
  • 2. Place remaining ingredients in food processor and blend together
  • 3. Add pureed cucumber and garlic. Mix together. If too thick, thin with a little water, a teaspoon at a time. Refrigerate for an hour (or longer) before serving.

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.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small cucumbers, chopped (peel and all if organic)
1/2 cup cashews, soaked
1/4 cup water (more or less depending on how thick you like)
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (to taste)
1 tablespoon agave nectar (to taste)
2 tablespoons dried dill (or 1/2 bunch fresh)
1 tablespoon sea salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender, adding water as needed.
  • If using fresh dill, blend 1/2 of it at first, them add the rest after the cucumbers and cashews are smooth!
  • Dressing will thicken in fridge.

Tips:

- 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.
