Cucumber Vinaigrette

This is a good way to use the yellowish cucumbers that you did not find in the garden the last time you picked.  Use only firm cucumbers, discarding the soft ones to the compost pile.  This also makes a great marinade for mild flavored, light colored meats on the grill.  Try varying the spices.  I have some in the freezer - will let you know it it turns out edible, or not....

Ingredients:

4 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Procedure:

Using a blender or food processor at high speed, whir the cucumbers, vinegar and oil until smooth and then whisk in the chives.  Store in a glass bottle or jar, in the refrigerator, shaking before use on salads or sliced vegetables, raw or steamed.

Serving Size:

About 2 cups
