Ingredients
- 4 cucumbers sometimes peeled or notdepending on how much peel they have"
- onions sliced thinly
- 4 tsps of fresh dill chopped finely dry dill will be fine here, and in fact, I even like it a bit better - it lets the other ingredients shine
- 4 TBs of Vegan mayonnaise or regular
- 2 TBs greek yogurt or sour cream optional
- 1-2 TBs vinegar depending on your taste (start with one and increase)
- 2 cloves of garlic chopped very finely
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cucumbers can be peeled or not, depending on their shape and the thickness of the peel (G's father prefers them peeled). Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise, then slice them into thin half moons (using small Persian cucumbers, skip cutting them in half). Add to a large salad bowl.
- Slice the onion the same way as the cucumbers, and add to the same large bowl.
- Mince garlic finely and add to a small bowl. Add all other dressing ingredients and mix together. Taste and correct flavors.
- Dress cucumbers with the dressing. Taste again, and add more vegan mayonnaise, salt, and pepper if needed.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- NOTES: According to G's father, this salad can be changed as needed. Feel free to add "anything else you'd be inclined to put in there."
