A very refreshing salad! It might be too tangy for some, but that could easily be remedied with a bit more sugar. I did cut back on the dill a bit because 2 tablespoons is a lot. This would be good with onion or garlic added in, but I appreciate the simplicity of the dish.

I used light mayonnaise and added tomatoes and feta cheese (from reading the reviews!). My dinner guests all had a second serving- it was delicious! Great salad with grilled beef or chicken.
Ryan Wu
Made this for my family of four, with no changes, and not one of us liked it much, but it was edible.
Amanda Oliver
I used this as a sauce for cooked zuchini, asparagus and brocoli. It was delicious and so easy to prepare!
Carol Parsons
Either my lemon had an excessive amount of juice, or this is just too lemony! I also added sliced cherry tomatoes and onion slices, per the photo shown with this recipe. (The second time I made this I added a small handful of feta cheese and that really helped balance-out the lemon flavor!)
Ronald Jenkins
I used reduced fat mayonnaise and Truvia instead of sugar for a little lighter salad. I also used fresh dill weed. Very good.
Anthony Joseph
Maybe it had too much lemon but it was sour tasting. Probably won’t make this one again…

Used more like 1/2 to 3/4c of low fat mayo….and also used Stevia (sugar substitute) instead of regular sugar…..loved the lemon-y zest and flavor! Also decreased the dried dill to a heaping 1 and 1/2 tspns. which was more than enough. Delicious and refeshing!
David Lopez
This was pretty good but it was a little bland. Next time I will add garlic, salt, and pepper.
Michael Kerr
This was pretty good. I used it for a dressing for my salmon burgers. I added some chopped green onion as well. I thought the combination of the lemon and cucumber complimented my burger well. I served with a side of spicy sweet potato fries.

nice receipe! English cucumbers are way to expensive for me so I just used Farm Market cucumbers. Since they were larger, I added extra mayo and dill because I can’t have enough dill! I also put in a touch of seasoned rice vinegar to balance the sweetness and smoked paprika. Thanks!
James Fowler
This was delicious, but I made some modifications that made it even better I thought. I added chopped tomatoes, diced onions, and feta cheese crumbles which helped balance out the strong lemon flavor. Great summer salad!
Paula Ramirez
too sweet for me
Meredith Smith DVM
Awesome! The lemon offered a refreshing flavor that I really liked. I did use mostly plain yogurt, with just a bit of mayo. Really good. Thanks 🙂
Tony Johnson
I was attracted to this recipe because it is very similar to a dressing I use for cole slaw. I sliced the cucumbers instead of diced, just a personal preference. Light and delicious, will be making again.
Donna Cox
Used orange rind instead of lemon as that is what I had on hand. Different yet good.
Audrey Jackson
I first placed the peeled and diced cucumber in a dish, sprinkled salt over them and left the dish in the frig for 20 minutes. Cucumbers have a lot of water so this helps bring out the juice. I then drained it before adding the mayonnaise dressing. I also added cherry tomatoes and FRESH dill weed. Just up the tablespoons to 3. Enjoy!
David Walton
Delicious, light and very tasty! The lemon makes it very refreshing. We added wedged tomatoes and it made a very nice side dish. Thanks!
