Cucumber Herb Vinaigrette Recipes

As the base of this herb-spiked dressing, pureed cucumber provides a mellow grassy flavor and a luxurious texture. Pureeing vegetables into a salad dressing is a great way to give it body (and to sneak in more low-cal vegetables). Experiment with tomatoes, arugula and/or roasted garlic to create your own dressing magic.

Cucumber is the base of this dressing; it provides a mellow grassy flavor and a luxurious texture. It may be refrigerated for up to 3 days. They recommend serving it atop a salad of mixed greens, radishes, scallions and hard-boiled eggs. Recipe from Eating Well. NOTE after making dish: Mine turned out VERY thick and so I thinned it with some water and vinegar, but then it needed more seasoning (garlic worked well). So don't be afraid to play around with this recipe a little, as it truly is a good springboard for a dressing. It is fresh tasting and beautiful in color.

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.
