This “creamy” cucumber dill salad is actually dairy free, but you won’t know the difference. My husband thought the dressing tasted like tzatziki sauce, which I took as a compliment, since we both love Greek food. Instead of using dairy, I used an avocado oil mayo by Chosen Foods. Normally, I make my own mayo, but if you don’t have the time because it’s a weeknight (which it was!) or you’re cooking a million other things because you’re hosting a BBQ (which I plan to!), then I highly recommend this as a great alternative.
The mayo is made with avocado oil, organic cage free eggs, organic white vinegar, organic honey, and organic mustard. There are no chemical preservatives, refined sugar or gmo ingredients. The best part is it looks just like regular mayo! Seriously, your family and guests won’t know the difference, and since I have a dairy allergy this is a great substitute for sour cream in recipes.
- ¾ cup of avocado oil mayo
- 2 english cucumbers
- ½ red onion
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, or the juice from half a lemon
- 1 large garlic glove, (or 2 small ones) pressed
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 3 grinds of fresh black pepper (or to taste)
- Prepare dressing in a medium sized bowl. Combine ¾ cup of avocado oil mayo with lemon juice, pressed garlic clove, and fresh dill.
- Mix and set aside in the refridgerator.
- Slice cucumbers and thinly slice red onion and add to large bowl.
- Then mix in dressing, salt, and some fresh ground black pepper. Enjoy!
This look so fresh, I am bored of meat, will try this in my next meal .Thank you !!
