We were served the delicious salad many times while we were in Russia
adopting Evan and Daria so as soon as we got home I modified the recipe to fit into our
nutritional needs (read: less FAT!) The original is made with mayonaise, which we don't
really like anyway. The new version tastes even better according to Evan and Daria who
have eaten this stuff all their lives. I also added some garlic, which the original didn't
have. Anyway, here goes....
2 large cucumbers, washed and sliced
About 2 cloves of crushed chopped garlic (I use the jar kind and I use about 1/2
Tablespoon)
1 sweet onion (medium to large), coarsly chopped, sliced, whatever you want
Plain (NOT vanilla!) yogurt
Miracle Whip Salad dressing
Fat-Free or Lowfat Sour Cream
Now, what I usually do is dump in some yogurt and sour cream and add maybe 1 ot 2
tablespoons of the Miracle Whip to give it a little substance
What you're going for here is a soupy dressing so mix accordingly. You really can't make a
mistake. Mix the dressing with all the other ingredients and serve.
