Creamy Cucumber Dressing

August 23, 2011

Cucumbers are funny things. You would not believe how many customers come to the farm, and are shocked when a garden fresh cucumber has prickles on it! Cucumbers are a go to snack for my kids, while they are outside playing in the heat. Because they are so juicy, they make a refreshing treat. I often have to lay down the law and not allow them to pick for a few days just to build up enough cucumbers to make pickles. 

Usually found under the  dressing, this recipe uses cucumbers as a main ingredient IN the dressing. It tastes cool and creamy on all your favorite greens. 

1 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

1 Tablespoon milk

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

2 Tablespoons chopped chives

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Chill at least an hour, to allow flavors to develop.
