CUCUMBER VINAIGRETTE
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.
