Ingredients
2 sliced large English cucumbers
-
5 Tablespoons Primal Kitchen Mayo

3 Tablespoons chopped dill
-
Primal Kitchen Whip Dressing & Spread

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, 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!
