  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red onion slices, capers, or cherry tomatoes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master for quick and even slices. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add chopped dill for a burst of fresh flavor.
  3. Pour the creamy dressing over the sliced cucumbers. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld beautifully and enhance the creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use crisp, fresh cucumbers for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a tangier salad, increase the lemon juice or add a splash of vinegar.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute with coconut yogurt or a healthy avocado dressing.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before serving.
