Hi friends!
Today we have a super simple cucumber salad that makes a great addition to any brunch table. I love it because it’s pretty, cheap, and pairs wonderfully with salmon/eggs/toast/etc. But also because it’s really flavorful, which you might not expect from cucumbers. I sometimes find them to be bland and blah! But the creamy dill dressing really makes them come alive 😉
I hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend! We’re both sick with colds over here (BOO!), so it’s a very lazy, chinese take-out kind of weekend. I’m also watching the first season of boardwalk empire, and really liking it. Any fans?
See you tomorrow! xo
Cucumber Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing – Baker by Nature
For the Cucumbers:
2 large english cucumbers, sliced into 1/4″ rounds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 roasted red pepper, thinly sliced (optional, but I loved the color it added)
For the Creamy Dill Dressing:
1/2 – 1 teaspoon salt, depending on how salty you like things
(1) 7 oz container full-fat Greek yogurt (I used Fage)
1/4 cup fresh dill
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced
Black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Wash cucumbers and dry well. Slice them into 1/4″ rounds and place them in a large bowl. Toss cucumbers with lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and salt. Set aside.
Place Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, garlic, and pepper in the body of a blender and pulse for 30-45 seconds, or until completely combined.
Arrange cucumbers on a large platter, and pour creamy dill dressing on top. Serve at once.
One of my fave things in the whole world is a simple salad of cucumbers and tomatoes. That thick dill dressing looks scrumptious, too!
This cucumber salad looks beautiful in its simplicity! Not to mention that dressing is killing me.
This is absolutely the most beautiful salad I’ve ever seen. It has everything I like… bcz I really don’t like lettuce. So, this one is calling my name!
This is stunning! I love the pop of red on there!
I find cucumbers to be blah 99% of the time. But I also really love dill with a fiery passion. So…I think I need to try this.
Get better!! that’s an order.
This is my perfect salad! Absolutely love the fresh flavors you added here, Ashley. I want a big forkful!
This salad sounds so simple & delicious! I may end up putting that dressing on every salad I eat for a week. 🙂 Hooray for fresh dill!
Love how bright and fresh this is! Hope you’re over the worst of your cold now and are feeling a bit better.
I love simple and flavorful salads like this one. My mom makes a similar salad with cucumbers and onions that I adore. I hope you and your honey feel better soon!
This is perfect – that creamy dill dressing is calling my name. I would love to put this over a half of an avocado!
