White Bean Cucumber Salad with Yogurt Dill Dressing

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes

This white bean cucumber salad is a family favorite, especially with my bean-loving daughter. The combination of crunchy cucumbers, soft white beans, and a creamy dill lemon dressing is irresistible. It's a salad that goes with so many mains so you'll find yourself making it again and again. Because the beans are quite filling, I'll often serve this salad with a simple protein and call it dinner.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1 15-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, mix the dill, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Notes

Dressing: Swap the mayo and yogurt amounts for a richer tasting dressing. Use ¼ cup of mayo and two tablespoons of yogurt.
