Vegan Creamy Cucumber Salad

I tried my very first bootcamp last night and it totally kicked my butt! Have you ever attended a bootcamp? I made it to twenty-six without venturing into bootcamp territory but my brother finally convinced me to join him for an outdoor class. I’ve come to understand that because I work at an office during the week, I need to constantly find new ways to be active, so I really had no excuse not to go. I have to say, I was kind of nervous going into the class as I can be pretty uncoordinated and had nooo idea how physically challenging the bootcamp would be. And some parts I was pretty uncoordinated (who can jump lunge, switch legs and shake a heavy rope at the same time?! haha). But, all in all it was a great class and I signed up for ten more!

But let’s chat about today’s recipe: Vegan Creamy Cucumber Salad.↡↡↡

Vegan Creamy Cucumber Salad

One of my favorite parts of summer are ALL the fresh, homemade salads. And cucumber has to be one of my most loved summer salad ingredients.

Did you grow up eating Creamy Cucumber Salad? This Vegan Creamy Cucumber Salad is based on a salad I grew up on at family BBQs and get-togethers. I have to say, when I “veganize” an old recipe, I often prefer it to the one I grew up on. The fresh and light tastes of the cucumber, lemon, and dill shine through without the use of sour cream and mayonnaise used in traditional Creamy Cucumber Salad recipes.

I mean I could seriously eat this Creamy Ranch and Dill Dressing with a spoooooon!

    Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worth it!

    This was awesome!! I changed the recipe a little and added a little tahini to my sauce because it’s a great source of calcium. Everyone raved about how good it was!! Thank you very much!
