This quick and super easy creamy cucumber salad is the perfect refreshing summer recipe for your next barbecue or get-together. I made it with Greek yogurt (not mayo or sour cream), so it\u2019s healthier, crunchy, crispy, and plenty creamy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creamy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chop, dress, chill, and serve. That\u2019s all you need to do to make this easy, creamy cucumber salad. Refreshing and full of contrasts, it\u2019s crunchy from the cucumbers and onions and creamy from Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exactly how you want a summer salad. And if your fridge is anything like mine, you'll already have all the ingredients for a refreshing salad inside it. <\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Why you'll love creamy cucumber salad?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the perfect summer salad recipe, and it\u2019s healthy to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fantastic BBQ side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled foods, and you\u2019re going to love it as a creamy cucumber salad sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versatile: It\u2019s the best creamy cucumber salad dressing. And it goes well with any recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scalable: You can easily double (or halve) the recipe depending on the crowd you have to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cucumbers<\/strong>: Opt for cucumbers with a thin peel, such as English or Persian cucumbers, as they tend to be crunchier. If you're going for organic ones and their skin isn't waxy, you can use them whole without peeling for added convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yogurt<\/strong>: Plain Greek yogurt makes the delicious salad a little tangy and gives it that extra shot of protein. You can make a creamy cucumber salad with sour cream or\u00a0with mayo<\/a>\u00a0too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dill<\/strong>\u00a0is the classic addition to cucumbers, and I find fresh is the best, making the summer salad brighter. But dried dill would work too. You can make the cucumber salad without dill. Use oregano, cilantro, parsley, or even mint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onions<\/strong>: Red onions are easily available here and they have so much flavor, so that\u2019s what I used. Green onions are a good swap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic<\/strong> gives the salad a bit of sharpness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spices<\/strong>: I would recommend using salt, pepper, and sugar according to your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add<\/strong>-ins<\/strong>: You can make a creamy cucumber salad with tomatoes or even boiled or wonderful sweet potato salad<\/a> for a heartier meal. A creamy cucumber and carrot salad is another option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
