Ingredients
Salad
- 2 English cucumbers diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes seeded, diced
- ½ small red onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper seeded, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Creamy Dressing
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar sub artificial sweeteners
Instructions
- Mix the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Whisk or shake to combine. Set aside.
- Chop and toss the vegetables in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours.
Notes
- Pick fresh and crisp cucumbers for best results.
- Soak the onions in water for 5 minutes to take a little of the "bite" out of them.
- Make the dressing and keep it separate until ready to serve.
- Toss in some cheese, beans, or nuts for extra texture. I like chickpeas, radishes, and sunflower seeds.
- Add in some sliced chicken breast for a light summer meal.
- Remove the seeds from the tomatoes to keep from watering down the salad.
- Substitute the vinegar for apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
- Make it low carb with sugar free mayo and artificial sweetener like stevia. You can also leave out sugar altogether.
- Substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for the mayonnaise.
