Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (peeled, seeded, and chopped) Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh chives
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 3 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons (optional, for thinning) Cold water
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then chop it into smaller pieces.
Place the chopped cucumber into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh parsley, dill, and chives to the blender along with the minced garlic.
Pour in the white wine vinegar, olive oil, and honey.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir before serving. Use as a dressing for salads, a drizzle over roasted vegetables, or a marinade for grilled proteins.
