Super Easy: Creamy Cucumber Salad

Submitted by AcadiaTwo

"This is actually the creamy version of my other recipe Recipe #382231. My DH actually prefers the creamy version more, but it totally depends on what type of Italian dressing I have on hand as to which one I make."

 

• Ready In: 24hrs 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 118.29 ml creamy Italian salad dressing
• 3 cucumbers (medium sized)
• 29.58 ml chives

directions

1. Peel and slice cucumbers and onions very thinly (I use a mandolin for this).
2. Place cucumbers, onion slices and salad dressing in a container that has a tight fitting lid.
3. Place the lid on and give the container a couple of shakes which will coat the cucumbers, chives and onions with the dressing and toss the salad.
4. Place container in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Enjoy!

No lie! This is Super Easy and Super Yummy! I made a small batch using fresh locally grown onions and a cuke from our CSA box; fresh chives from our garden. My favorite creamy Italian recipe is this: Recipe #34649 which I used. I threw everything in a Mason jar, shook, and refrigerated for 24 hours turning the jar upside down and right side up a few times when I remembered. Went well with my ZWT tagged roast lamb recipe, too! Thanks! Reviewed for Veg Tag/August.

I had to use Tuscan Italian dressing because my Creamy Italian was out of date. (It also has a creamy texture.) I left out the chives & sprinkled on some salt. Made for Ramadan Tag

Not assigning a rating here as I think problems with one recipe hampered my results for this dish. Always looking to economize and keep the collection of condiments down, I decided to make my own dressing using Recipe #11045. Alas, there were some problems and while the taste of my cucumber salad was good, the appearance was very unappealing. I really liked the more complex mix of flavors that emerged and plan to make this again as cucumber salads are a favorite.
