Ingredients
½ cup soy mayonnaise
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
⅛ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 large clove garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
2 tablespoons water
2 medium tomatoes, quartered
4 leaves red or green leaf lettuce leaves
12 slices cucumber slices
Directions
Prepare the Creole dressing by combining the soy mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, stone ground mustard, ketchup, prepared horseradish, hot pepper sauce, minced garlic, and fresh chives in a food processor or blender.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the dressing mixture and process until the ingredients are smooth, well combined, and uniform in texture.
For each of the four servings, arrange 2 quarters of tomato and 3 slices of cucumber on a leaf of lettuce.
Drizzle the desired amount of Creole dressing over each salad just before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is a reach-in-the-pantry or produce-bin standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI—soy mayo and horseradish are shelf-stable even in smaller stores. The dressing costs under $2 to make from scratch; the tomato, lettuce, and cucumber push the per-serving cost to roughly $1.50–$2.00, which is reasonable for a side salad. The 15-minute claim is honest: chopping takes five minutes, whisking the dressing three. The real drawback is its reliance on fresh produce that doesn't improve as leftovers; this is a same-night salad that will wilt if held longer than a few hours, so plan it for when you're serving it immediately.
