Vintage Recipe: Summer Salad

retro recipe card for a summer salad
Here is another one from the recipe card file I picked up at an antique store years ago. I was flipping through her salad section today, to see if she had any interesting thoughts on how to use the bunch of kale that's been in my fridge for the last week (I always make it the same way and was hoping for some inspiration) when I stumbled across this one. It isn't actually anything particularly special, but I found the idea of an arranged salad with a quick blender dressing sort of appealing. Very retro and yet appropriate for the time of year.
Summer Salad

Cottage cheese with slices of tomatoes, cukes, green pepper. Top with cucumber dressing.

In blender:
1/2 cup sour cream or cottage cheese
3 tablespoons mayo
1 small cucumber
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon green onion

I might actually spice that dressing up a little more, with a couple of twists of the pepper mill and five or six nice sized basil leaves instead of the dill. Or make sure to use fresh dill, because that would be more complimentary to all those nice, fresh veggies.
