Creamy Cucumber Salad

This fresh, crisp Creamy Cucumber Salad is perfectly seasoned with a simple sauce of lemon, dill, dijon mustard and fat-free yogurt. 

When I was in NC visiting my family, I made this cucumber salad to have at a barbecue at my brother’s house.  My mother had made this Succotash Salad to go along the ultra popular, Italian Grilled Chicken.

Since the temps were already in the mid-90’s, a cucumber salad just sounded refreshing.  It is so easy to toss together (I use my little mandolin slicer to be be extra quick) for a wonderful healthy, low-carb side dish.

 

 

INGREDIENTS

2 English cucumbers, sliced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

For the dressing

1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Juice of one lemon or 2 TBSP of lemon juice

Fresh ground pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Combine sliced cucumbers and onions in a serving bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, mustard, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and pepper together until combined well.

Add more yogurt if it’s too thin and more olive oil if it’s too thin.

Drizzle salad dressing over cucumbers and onions and toss to coat.

ENJOY!!
