MerryMary on 2025-06-10 (5 stars): Just made this for lunch, except I finely chopped my cucumbers and red onion and we used it as a spread in pitas, along with sliced turkey and tomatoes. Outstanding! So glad I found this site!
Lin Lin on 2025-06-02 (5 stars): Switched with greek yogurt as suggested and it was great. Even kids love it.
Christina on 2025-05-18 (5 stars): Just made this for lunch and we ate the entire bowl. So simple and refreshing, and the creaminess is a treat. Thanks for the simple recipe, I'll definitely be making this again.
Michelle on 2025-03-30 (5 stars): This is a weekly staple for me to have alongside my meals or just have a snack, I love how easy it is to make with the ingredients I have on hand.
Guiergue G. on 2025-02-02 (5 stars): This is great, thank you. I started using the dressing as a dip for veggies instead of a salad and it's very good that way too.
Savana M. on 2025-01-20 (5 stars): Super easy recipe! And delicious 😋 Thank you!
Marcia on 2024-11-12 (5 stars): Love this recipe and I buy a cucumber every shopping trip to make it for my husband. Thanks for a great tasting simple recipe!
Leilani on 2024-10-28 (4 stars): Great recipe, but next time will only add a pinch of salt, if any, to the dressing! I used kosher salt to pull some moisture out of the cucumbers and drained before I assembled. Was super creamy, but turned watery after leaving in the fridge for a couple of hours. Still was delicious though.
Jodene Christopherson on 2024-09-30 (5 stars): Added more sugar to recipie, was very good!
Don on 2024-09-15 (5 stars): Loved it. Served it with lamb burgers tonight. Once thing I might do different next time is to put the cucumbers and onions in a colander, salt them and allow them so sweat off some water. Then assemble a few hours ahead of time, allowing the dill to reconstitute. Not sure it will make a difference as it was fantastic as written.
Peggy on 2024-09-02 (5 stars): Easy to make & tastes great! I added fresh ground pepper on top!
