Ingredients
Scale
For the cucumber herb asiago dressing:
- 1/2 of a fresh cucumber
- About 1/2 cup fresh herbs (I used tarragon, chives & oregano)
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- About 1 oz. Asiago cheese
- 1/4 cup fat free yogurt
For the salad:
- Fresh greens
- Fresh cherry tomatoes, halved
- Shards of Asiago cheese
- Fresh chive flowers, separated from the stem
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber into slices, sprinkle with salt and set them in a colander in the sink for about 15 minutes. The salt will pull out the excess water from the cucumber. Pat dry with a towel.
- In a blender or handi chopper, blend together all the dressing ingredients except the yogurt until everything is well chopped and blended. Pour into a bowl and stir in the yogurt. Set aside while you make the salad.
- Fill the bowl most of the way with greens, then top with lots of cherry tomatoes and a few shards of asiago. Sprinkle with chive flowers.
- Serve the salad with the dressing. The dressing also makes a nice sauce for potatoes, chicken or fish.
