Description

This Creamy Cucumber, Celery, and Dill Salad is a spring-and-summer staple that comes together in just about 10 minutes.

Thinly sliced English cucumbers and crunchy celery are tossed in a dreamy vegan dressing made from creamy mayo and plant-based sour cream or yogurt, all lifted with fresh dill, tangy white wine vinegar, and a hint of garlic.

It's light enough for a quick lunch, perfect alongside grilled mains, and undeniably delicious whether you serve it right away or chilled the next day.

Simple, herb-kissed, and full of vibrant flavor — this salad makes healthy eating feel like a treat. 

Ingredients
  • 2 English cucumbers (thinly sliced)
  • 2 ribs of celery (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup vegan sour cream or plain unsweetened yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 large garlic clove (minced or grated)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1

    Thinly slice the cucumber and celery and add them to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

     

  2. 2

    Whisk together the mayo, sour cream, dill, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl.

     

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture over the cucumber slices and toss to coat.

     

  4. 4

    Garnish with extra dill and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

    This salad is best when served the day you make it, but it will keep for 3 to 5 days in the fridge—note that the cucumbers might soften a bit during that time.
