Make this simple, refreshing cucumber celery salad. It is a low calorie side dish perfect for summer BBQs or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, diced
  • 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare all vegetables. Dice the cucumbers, thinly slice the celery, and thinly slice the red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
  4. Add the chopped fresh dill to the bowl.
  5. Gently toss all ingredients until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Chill the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.

Notes

  • To keep this salad extra crisp, salt the cucumbers lightly and let them sit in a colander for 10 minutes before rinsing and adding them to the salad. This draws out excess water.
  • This salad pairs well as a healthy backyard BBQ side dish or as a light lunch salad idea.
  • For a different flavor, substitute the lemon juice with rice vinegar for an Asian-inspired taste.
