BLUE CUCUMBER SALAD



Blue Cucumber Salad image

Move over, plain jane cucumber salad! This salad makes an entrance with unusual chunks of blue cheese tossed in for a creamy burst of flavor. If blue cheese is too strong for you, try a mild feta and a squirt of lemon! When testing this recipe, both light and regular sour cream held up well, while the fat free version tended to water out quickly.

  • Peel the cucumbers thinly. This will help the cucumbers to absorb the flavors of the dressing and also make them more delicate.
  • Slice the cucumbers evenly. This will help them to cook evenly and look more attractive.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from tearing or breaking.
  • Chill the cucumbers before serving. This will help them to stay crisp and refreshing.
  • Garnish the cucumbers with fresh herbs, such as dill or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
