“Creamy” Cucumber Dill Salad

"Creamy" Cucumber Dill Salad - Healing and Eating

This “creamy” cucumber dill salad is actually dairy free, but you won’t know the difference. My husband thought the dressing tasted  like tzatziki sauce, which I took as a compliment, since we both love Greek food. Instead of using dairy, I used an avocado oil mayo by Chosen Foods. Normally, I make my own mayo, but if you don’t have the time because it’s a weeknight (which it was!) or you’re cooking a million other things because you’re hosting a BBQ (which I plan to!), then I highly recommend this as a great alternative.

The mayo is made with avocado oil, organic cage free eggs, organic white vinegar, organic honey, and organic mustard. There are no chemical preservatives, refined sugar or gmo ingredients. The best part is it looks just like regular mayo! Seriously, your family and guests won’t know the difference, and since I have a dairy allergy this is a great substitute for sour cream in recipes.
