SALAD DRESSINGS Cucumber Garlic Cream Dressing

In the next few blog posts, I'll be blogging some recipes and ideas for salads and salad dressings, focusing primarily on blending ingredients to make a great fresh and clean dressing. Summertime is here, in most places it is warm or hot, so I'll get some stuff that is really cool to use and you can make them in advance, and store it in the refrigerator for your near future cookout or in the house dinners.


So here we go folks, the first salad dressing we'll do is a Cucumber Garlic Cream Dressing. It is very easy to make, and sorry all you from scratch culinary artists, I'll cheat and use ready made items as well as some fresh herbs and spices, this is for the everyday cook that wants to be simple. Fact remains, most of you are working folks and pretty beat up by the time your motorcar gets into your garage.


2 Large Cucumber peeled and rough chopped
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of coconut milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 olive oil
1/4 vinegar
1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup of chopped garlic cloves
1/4 cup chopped round onion
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. corriander
1 tbsp. pepper corns
2 tbsp. sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste


Place all of the ingredient into a strong food processor, and pulse, pulse it until it is just smooth, place this in an airtight container and refrigerate.


This dressing is good for any cold greens on a warm or hot day or evening, I like this over ice cold tomatoes and crisp bacon actually.

Cucumbers grows on vines and have many different varieties including the Indian Yellow that looks like a huge squash, cucumbers are very refreshing eaten alone and is actually good for bad breath and body order it has a cleaning effect.
