Directions

Toss the sliced cucumbers with a pinch of salt and lay them in a dish or in a bowl that’s lined with a towel. You can layer the cucumbers on top of one another depending on the size of the container you use - just separate each layer with a towel. Let them rest for about 30 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together the mayo or whipped spread, lemon juice, milk, garlic and black pepper. Stir in the red onion and dill.
Once the cucumbers have drained, give them a toss with a fresh towel to wipe off any excess liquid and salt. Place the mayo mixture into a large bowl and then fold the cucumber into it until all of the cucumber is coated.
Season with additional salt to taste and enjoy!

Recipe Note

We highly recommend draining the cucumbers so the salad doesn’t get too soupy. If you are short on time, salting and draining them even for 10-15 minutes will help!
