How To Make cucumber salad in a creamy garlic dressing
-
1In a medium bowl, mix all dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste to see if you want to add more seasoning. Cover and chill or even better if sits over night.
-
2Place cucumbers in a colander and add 2 tsp kosher salt and toss to coat. Leave drain for 30 minutes...this removes much of the water and won't water down your dressing. After draining, rinse and place in a clean tea towel to dry. Place all prepared vegetables in a bowl and toss.
-
3Spoon dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat all cucumbers, as they tend to stick together. I use my fingers, they are your best tools.
-
4Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
