Creamy Cucumber Dressing (below)
In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients, except flour. The
puree will not be entirely smooth, which is good.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dipping your hands lightly in flour, if you need
to, shape the puree into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Spray a large skillet
with Pam and heat until very hot. Sauté the balls on all sides, then transfer
them to a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
Serve with Creamy Cucumber Dressing.
