Picnic Salad

Ingredients:

• 4 field cucumbers
• 1/2 cup salad dressing or mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. honey
• 1 Tbsp. dry mustard
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions:

Slice cucumbers into 1/2 inch slices. Cut each slice into 4 chunks. Place in a serving bowl.

Blend all remaining ingredients in a blender or shake vigorously in a jar with a tight fitting lid.

Pour dressing mixture over cucumber chunks. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Keep well chilled while transporting to picnic site.

Note: If you don't want the seeds in your salad, simply cut the cucumber in half and run a spoon down the center.
