Cucumber Salad With Spicy Wasabi Dressing Recipes

WASABI CUCUMBER RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• Get Blending! After chopping your veggies, add all the above ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
• The dressing will thicken after spending a little time in the fridge and you can also add 1-2 tablespoons of greek yogurt to thicken immediately. I like my dressings a bit more runny since they cover more ground (aka veggies!) that way. Enjoy!
