Every other morning or so I have been checking my garden to see if God has blessed us with any goodies. This morning I found 8 cucumbers! Our first cucumbers of the season.
My family and I have been waiting for these just so I could make my cucumber salad, our favorite!
Here are the ingredients for the dressing along with my adorable, handy, little egg whisk. I just love this little guy!
Add to your bowl;
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. mayo or miracle whip
1/6 c. vinegar
I see now that I added 1/3 c. of vinegar. Oops! No wonder why it tasted a little different. Oh well, we still ate it. Just make sure you only fill your 1/3 c. HALF full!
Next add salt and pepper to taste.
Go ahead and give it a good whisk.
You did good, little guy!
Slice up an onion and toss that in.
Peel your cucumbers
Slice them and toss them in.
Give it a good stir and place it in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavors set in.
And that's it, folks!
Wow! Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love cucumbers in the summer time. They're so refreshing on a hot summer day. I will try your recipe sometime.
I have some cucumbers from my garden. I will have to make this. I like the idea of olive oil which my recipe doesnt include.
ReplyDeleteCucumbers look nice, at summer we enjoy a lot, (we are in winter now) I add to you blog hop my strawberry and raspberry clafoutis. xxgloria
ReplyDeleteHiya! I linked up last month when I stopped in at your blog. I forgot to ask what you call your cucumber salad. We made it and it is tasty! I had never combined EVOL, mayo and vinegar. It was a hit, so Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in at my blog and checking out the soon to be newest Gooseberry Patch Cookbook release! The giveaway starts Sept. 3rd so don't forget to come back :)
Thanks for having my button on your side bar. I really need to updated it. I'm always looking for a guest chef feature on my blog. If you ever want to share a recipe from your blog let me know. I give you full credit and link back to your blog, etc.
