Many years ago, I devised this creamy cucumber dressing when I was out of store bought and craving this particular dressing on a tossed salad. I decided to try my hand at making my own, and it was such a success that my family clamors for this tasty salad dressing at the Shabbos table, every single week. It’s so good that my kids asked me for the recipe when they got married. Best of all, though it’s really creamy, it’s also parve, which makes it perfect for a meat meal.
