CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD DRESSING
Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts.

Steps:
- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender, adding water as needed.
- If using fresh dill, blend 1/2 of it at first, them add the rest after the cucumbers and cashews are smooth!
- Dressing will thicken in fridge.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers. For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm cucumbers with small seeds. English cucumbers are a good option, as they have fewer seeds and thinner skin.
- Chill the cucumbers before using. This will help the dressing stay cool and refreshing.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, and parsley, add a lot of flavor to the dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Adjust the flavor to your liking. The dressing can be made more or less tangy by adjusting the amount of vinegar or lemon juice. You can also add more or less garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Use the dressing right away or store it in the refrigerator for later. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cucumber dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes, from salads to sandwiches to grilled chicken. It is a refreshing and light dressing that is perfect for summer meals. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cucumber dressing that will add flavor to your favorite dishes.
