Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by washing and thinly slicing the cucumbers. If you prefer, you can peel them or leave the skin on for added texture and color.
- Thinly slice the red onion, creating delicate rings that will contribute a subtle sharpness to the salad.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and red onions, creating a visually appealing base for the salad.
- Add the finely chopped fresh dill to the bowl, infusing the salad with an herbaceous aroma that complements the crispness of the vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the creamy dressing by whisking together non-fat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. This dressing serves as the velvety anchor that ties the salad together.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the cucumber and red onion mixture, ensuring every slice is coated evenly. Gently toss the ingredients to combine, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning or dressing components to your liking, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavors.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to intensify and the salad to chill.
- Before serving, give the salad a final gentle toss, ensuring that each slice of cucumber is enrobed in the creamy dressing.
- Optional: Garnish the Weight Watchers Creamy Cucumber Salad with crumbled feta cheese for an added layer of richness and tanginess.
- Serve the salad chilled, either as a refreshing standalone dish or as a delightful accompaniment to grilled proteins or whole grains.
