INGREDIENT NOTES:

CUCUMBER:

  • We will use cucumbers as the main item for this salad. These are crunchy and will give you crunchy bites in your recipe. These will also give you a refreshing feeling in your side dish. An alternative for this can be using thin zucchini slices.

CHERRY TOMATOES:

  • These will include a sweet taste in your salad. Also, they will make your salad bowl look colorful. Add grape tomatoes as an alternative idea, too.

CARROTS:

  • Another vegetable is carrots for your recipe. These will give you crunchy bites as well. Also, you may add thin slices of radish as a substitute.

RED BELL PEPPER:

  • This can make your side dish flavorful. Also, you will feel crunchier bites from using this. Red bell pepper is nutritious for you, too. Use an orange or yellow bell pepper as an alternative idea.

RED ONION:

  • Red onion will give you a slightly sharp taste in your salad. This can also maintain any extra sweet taste of other vegetables in your side dish. Utilize sweet onions as a different substitute.

FRESH PARSLEY:

  • Adding parsley to your salad will make it very refreshing. You will get a herbal taste from using it, too. Add basil or dill for different choices.

FAT-FREE GREEK YOGURT:

  • You will not utilize olive oil in this recipe. Here, we will use a light substitute. We will add the fat-free Greek yogurt. This will make a creamy dressing for your salad. You may also use fat-free sour cream as a substitute option.

LEMON JUICE:

  • You will feel a bright taste from using this. Lemon juice also gives your recipe a tangy taste. Add apple cider vinegar for a different choice.

WATER:

  • We will use water to thin the dressing if it feels very thick.

BLACK PEPPER & SALT:

  • Both of them will boost the taste of your salad.

DRIED OREGANO:

  • This will also give your salad a herbal flavor. Add Italian seasoning for another idea as well.
