My husband’s vegetable garden is starting to crank out some produce and that means it’s time for me to come up new vegetable recipes. He just presented me with his first batch of cucumbers and while I love cucumbers, I don’t eat that many.

So while watching the next Food Network Star a contestant made margarita dressing that sounded interesting to me. I decided to try my hand at that and made this cucumber slaw with margarita dressing. It’s cool, crunchy, colorful and the dressing is creamy and sweet but tart. You will love it!

When I was younger my mother often made a linguine salad when we had picnics. She would use a spice mix called Salad Supreme, chopped vegetables and a bottle of salad dressing. Very easy and really tasty too! So we have been cleaning up our diet recently which meant no pasta and well roughly no packaged foods. So mom’s recipe was out and I came up with this low carb linguine salad. I was so happy because it came out really good. My hubby thought it was the perfect dish for spaghetti squash and it was almost as easy as my mom’s version.
