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.
