This raw Carrot Cucumber Salad with a creamy dill dressing is crispy, crunchy, and utterly delicious. Simple but vibrant, it is made with fresh carrots, cucumber and a few pantry staples. Creamy from the addition of mayo with a bright and tangy flavor from lemon juice and vinegar, it makes the perfect pairing for any vegan, vegetarian, fish or meat dish.
This easy salad recipe takes just a few minutes to prep. Start with the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, white vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of sugar and salt. I usually use my homemade mayo. It’s vegan and easy to make, but the bottled mayo is equally delicious in this recipe. Next, use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the cucumber thinly. Grate the carrots. Finally, toss the prepped veggies with the dressing, and you are good to go!
To make the Carrot Cucumber Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to use.
Use a mandoline to slice the cucumber thinly. Grate the carrots.
Place the sliced cucumbers and grated carrots into a large bowl and pour the prepared dressing over. Toss to coat.
Serve and enjoy!
