Creamy Cucumber Salad

Ceamy Cucumber Salad -- not everyone in our family loves cucumbers, but the health benefits outweigh the complaints.  So here we go with one of my favorites! This classic recipe is made with fresh cucumbers, red onions, fresh dill, and a handful of other ingredients for a side dish that everyone (did I just say everyone?)     will love! Well maybe!

It’s light, creamy, and incredibly easy to make. The perfect salad for picnics, pot lucks, or summer grilling.

Whether you grew up on it or are trying it for the first time, you’re sure to LOVE the flavor in this easy cucumber salad!  The best part --- it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare but does require some chill time in the fridge to bring the flavors together. 

There’s something nostalgic about it – it’s a recipe that’s been around forever and a dish that most of us have probably enjoyed at family get-togethers at one point or another.

I love it because it’s such a simple salad, yet it’s packed with so much flavor.

Between the crunchy cucumbers, the creamy sauce, and the fresh dill, this salad truly is no-fuss in every way. It’s easy to make, perfect for prepping in advance, and it stores well in the fridge.

Here is the ingredients list:

• 1-2 cucumbers
• ¼ red onion
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ⅓ cup milk
• 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• ¼ tsp kosher salt
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• Wash the cucumber and peel 
• Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice the cucumber. I'm lucky to have a super Sous Chef who knows how to slice and dice perfectly.  
• Thinly slice the onion
• In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the milk, vinegar, sugar, dill, salt, and black pepper until combined.
• Add the cucumber and onion to the dressing and stir until combined.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for 2 hours.
• Serve and enjoy
