Ingredients
  • 2 English cucumbers thinly sliced (see step 1)
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
For the Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup(s) plain vegan yogurt (such as almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/4 cup(s) vegan mayonnaise (see notes for oil-free option)
  • 1/4 cup(s) fresh dill chopped
  • 3 tablespoon(s) white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon(s) agave
  • 1 clove(s) garlic minced or pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
Instructions
  • Slice the cucumbers: Slice both cucumbers into thin slices, about ยผ-inch thick. Use a knife, a mandoline slicer, or I like to use the slicer attachment on my food processor to make it super fast.
  • Make the dressing: in a small bowl, mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, vinegar, agave, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss the salad: to a large bowl, add the cucumbers, onions, and all of the dressing and toss well to combine. Enjoy the salad right away or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like the salad best when it is enjoyed same day, but it is still delicious if you have leftovers.
Notes
Oil-free: to make this salad oil-free, substitute the vegan mayo with 1/4 cup more vegan yogurt.
