Cucumber & Yogurt Dressing
Years and years and years ago my husband and I ate at a fancy steakhouse restaurant near us that served us a salad with a delicious cucumber dressing. I came home and immediately set to work making a copycat recipe that we enjoyed... and then promptly forgot all about it. I have never made that dressing again.
But last summer when we were flooded with cucumbers from our CSA boxes and I was looking for some new cucumber recipes to try I found a recipe for a cucumber dressing that reminded me of that one we had made all those years ago.
Ingredients:
2 Cucumbers (or 4 smaller pickling cucumbers); peeled or unpeeled is up to you.
1 small onion
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 Tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
To make:
1. I first ran the cucumber (washed well with ends removed) through the food processor with my grating blade and followed with the onion. Then I set them together in the bowl of a colander and the let the water drain while I worked on the next step.
2. In a small bowl I mixed together the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
3. I put everything into my blender and mixed well on puree until I had a consistency I liked for my salad dressing. I tasted it and made sure to adjust either the saltiness or sweetness until it tasted good to me (in my case I had to add extra honey which I accounted for in the above measurements).
I filled up our salad dressing container and put the rest in a mason jar in the fridge to refill as needed.
This looks good! My cucumbers are not doing so well in the garden :(. I was hoping to have a bounty but that's not happening. Anyway, I may have to try this (with likely store bought cukes).

Yum! I have been making lots of tzatziki for Greek salad or bowls. I use a cheese grater on about half a cucumber into a paper towel and then drain out the liquid, add that to a bowl with lemon juice, Greek seasoning, salt, pepper, and a bunch of non fat plain Greek yogurt and add water to thin it out. It is seriously so good!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try yours with the addition of the Worchestershire and honey!
This sounds so great!
