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.

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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:

Choose the right cucumbers: English or Persian cucumbers are best for this salad, as they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help the dressing to penetrate the cucumbers and make them more flavorful.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill, chives, and parsley are all great additions to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This creamy cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy dressing, fresh herbs, and crisp cucumbers, this salad is sure to be a hit!
