Picnic Salads

6–8 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 6 radishes
  • 4 green onions
  • 2 cups cream-style cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 dash red cayenne pepper
  • lettuce cups (optional)

Make it step by step

  1. Cut cucumber lengthwise into fourths, then into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut radishes into halves and onions into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Place vegetables in blender container; add enough water to cover. Cover and blend on high speed until finely chopped; drain completely. (Can use your food processor, or vegetables can be finely chopped by hand).
  3. Mix cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper and red pepper; stir in vegetables.
  4. I like to cover and refrigerate for several hours to let the flavors blend.
  5. Spoon into lettuce cups and, if desired, garnish with sliced ripe olives.
