Cool Cucumber Salad

So Sorry, but ICK!! Definitely NOT the place for Vanilla Yogurt! Gave the neighbors some to try. After ONE bite each, they both said “Thanks, but NO Thanks”. This will not be Gracing our table again. Not with Vanilla Yogurt, anyway.

I liked the vanilla yogurt. I always add sugar to mine, but this gave it a richer flavor. I did do a couple of things differently. I added the zest of one lemon. It gives a bright freshness to the mix. Secondly, I used English cucumbers and made slices instead of dices. And using the English variety, I did not have to peel them as they are not waxed with food protectant. They are wrapped in cellophane so no additives, and no gastro issues.

Followed the directions but used plain greek fat free yogurt in lieu of the vanilla, used thinly sliced Persian cucumbers (salted, refrigerated and drained for 90 minutes before adding), and fresh dill. Was a tad apprehensive but allowed the flavors to meld for two hours and it was amazing with the Lemon Garlic Shrimp served over orzo also on this site.

I made the dressing as it says. I did English Cucumber, broccoli, red onion, real bacon bits, and a little feta. Everyone scarfed it up.

Not as much flavor as we were hoping. Paired with Salmon at a brunch. Needed more garlic possibly. I did not use Vanilla yogurt which sounded too sweet.

Easy to make, my mother -in-law took home the recipe she like it so well.

Very quick and easy to make. Love the flavor!

I made it just as the recipe describes, and I think it’s so nice and cool, light, and refreshing. I will definitely make this again!

I can understand some of the comments about how the vanilla yogurt makes it too sweet. I used plain fat-free yogurt but added two pumps of Torani sugar-free vanilla syrup. I added a little more garlic and some green onion tops for color. The salad is lovely for summer!

So so so good!! I kept everything the same except I added more salt and feta cheese. Holy !

I made just a small portion, still getting the combination correct but it was yummy and I will definitely make it again

I made the recipe per instructions. I did not care for the sweetness of the vanilla yogurt. Plain might be better

I’ve made this several times now and it’s a hit!

This is an okay salad, not my favorite. I couldn’t bring myself to use vanilla yogurt, so I used plain and added a pinch of sugar.

I didnt notice that the recipe called for vanilla yogurt, so I used what I had on hand, plain nonfat yogurt with regular Daisy sour cream. Salted and drained the cucumbers and added a couple stalks of celery with the onion. Great crunchy side salad for summertime.

I accidentally grabbed the “plain” style LF Greek yogurt but, it was still yummy! I’ll def make it again!

I have made this many times, but I never, ever use low fat anymore – fat doesn’t make you fat and it ruins any food you do that to. Eat less, don’t buy diet food. FYI. Likely you’ve known this already and it’s older – I used to use diet too, unless my husband clued me in.

I’ve made this several times. I use plain lowfat Greek yogurt (not vanilla). I now add 4 tsp apple cider vinegar, crumbled feta cheese, and I top it with fresh chives and a couple of shakes of paprika. Unless I’m making it for a crowd, I find that making the dressing and only adding the cucumbers when we’re ready to eat is the best way to eliminate the watery aspect of cucumbers. The leftover dressing will keep a couple of weeks in the fridge this way and the flavor intensifies. Only add cucs when ready to eat – that is the way to go.

Vanilla yogurt just doesn’t work in this recipe

The vanilla yogurt really throws the flavor out of whack on this one. We’ll try it again with regular yogurt and see how it turns out.

I made this recipe and it was so, so good. I think I will again for family . It gets five stars.
