Happy Cinco de Mayo! I don’t have a Mexican themed recipe for you today. I figured that you’ve already decided what you’re eating today – and I hope it’s something delicious! If you’re anything like me, you use Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to consume large quantities of chips, salsa, and guacamole. That means tomorrow I will need to make up for today’s indulgences by eating a little lighter.

So, salad it will be. I have this dressing all set and ready to go so that I can make a big salad tomorrow. I find that a little planning ahead makes it easier to make healthy choices (it also allows me to eat more yummy Mexican food tonight with less guilt). 😉

Cucumber Salad Dressing

This dressing is perfect on just about any type of salad and it can be used as a dip. In the recipe itself, I gave some variations for switching out herbs or adding other flavors. Use this recipe as a base and adapt it however you choose.

When it comes to eating salads, I think homemade dressing makes it so much more enjoyable. I typically make homemade ranch or balsamic vinaigrette, but I recently started making this herb and cucumber dressing, and it is my new go-to. It’s creamy, tangy, light, and refreshing – the ideal dressing for the warmer months ahead.

Notes

About the cucumber: If using a regular cucumber, remove the seeds before chopping it. I also partially peel it, leaving on about half of the skin. If you're using an English cucumber, you can leave the skin on and you can leave the seeds in. Variations: Feel free to add in any other herbs that you like. Fresh basil or parsley would both be great. You could also add in a small clove of minced garlic before blending the dressing.
