CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING

Cucumber Ranch Dressing image

Ranch dressing pairs up well with sturdy lettuces, not delicate ones, which droop under its heft. Ours also makes a refreshing dip for blanched vegetables such as these mixed beans.

Yield Makes 2 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 1/2 tablespoons (about 1 lemon) fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

Steps:

Stir together cucumber, shallot, sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, parsley, and chives in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt and cayenne, if desired.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers. For this recipe, it's best to use fresh, crisp cucumbers that are not too seedy. English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers are good choices.
Slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
Adjust the amount of vinegar or lemon juice to taste. Some people prefer a more tangy dressing, while others prefer a milder one.
Serve the cucumbers chilled. This will make them even more refreshing on a hot day.

Conclusion:

This easy cucumber salad is a great way to use up fresh cucumbers. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or with grilled chicken, fish, or steak. The dressing is simple to make and can be adjusted to taste. So next time you have a few cucumbers on hand, give this recipe a try!
