Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 cup dairy-free coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers if they have a thick skin, but if they have a thin and unwaxed skin, simply wash them thoroughly.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the dairy-free coconut yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk these together until smooth to create the dressing.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the sliced cucumbers.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers and dressing.
Gently toss the cucumbers in the yogurt dressing until they are well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a refreshing side dish or as a cool snack on a warm day.
