It can’t be summer without cucumber salad! Since going dairy-free I’ve been making cucumber salad sans dairy but my husband really misses the kind his grandma makes with sour cream. I had a tub of plain coconut yogurt in my fridge and decided to experiment. Here’s the result! Because the salad is naturally a little sweet, the yogurt works really well as a creamy substitute. I like this salad best after it’s been sitting in the fridge overnight.
I’ll probably be making this a few times in the next few weeks – I’m swimming in cucumbers! I’ve picked 14 in the last week and have about 7 more that need to be picked today. We’ve been slicing and eating them plain every day with lunch and dinner so this is a nice change.

3 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 small onion, slices
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
3/4 tbsp sugar
1 cup plain coconut yogurt*
1 tsp dried dill week
*I’d imagine you could use other types of diary free yogurt here too but you might need to play with the amount of sugar you need to add.
Directions:
Mix cucumber and onion in a bowl. Add coconut yogurt, apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar.
Mix in 1 tsp dried dill weed. Chill in the fridge (preferably overnight) and serve!
