Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes seeded, diced
- ½ small red onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper seeded, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Dressing
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Mix the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Whisk or shake to combine. Set aside.
- Chop and toss the vegetables in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours.
Notes
- Pick fresh, crisp cucumbers for the best crunch. Avoid soft or wrinkled ones.
- Soak red onion in water for 5 minutes to mellow the sharp taste.
- Remove tomato seeds to prevent watering down the salad.
- Sprinkle cucumbers with salt, let sit 5 minutes, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Keep dressing separate until ready to serve if making ahead.
- Use fresh dill for the best summer flavor.
- Dice everything into similar-sized pieces so you get a little of everything in each bite.
- Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a complete light summer meal.
- Try Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayo for tangier dressing.
- Don't overdress the salad. You can always add more but you can't take it away!
