About this recipe
This vegan creamy cucumber dill salad is perfect all year long! It’s light, refreshing, and full of flavor. It is the perfect salad to serve as a side dish for a vegan meatloaf or for lunch with seed crackers and cream cheese.
My family has German roots, and I still remember visiting my great-aunt occasionally as a kid. When we had dinner at her place, she served meatloaf, this creamy cucumber dill salad, and a coffee cake for dessert.
There isn’t a German recipe for cucumber salad, but common ingredients include cucumbers, vinegar, and seasonings. This is my vegan version, resulting in a light, slightly tangy, fresh dish.
Ingredients
- I use cashew yogurt, but you could substitute with homemade sour cream.Apple cider vinegar: I like my salad to be extra tangy, but if you want a milder salad, use rice vinegar.Salt & freshly ground pepperFresh dill Cucumbers
FUN FACTS Cucumbers are over 90% water, which makes them a refreshing and hydrating food. They are also a good source of Vitamin C and potassium.
How to make the vegan cucumber salad
- Mix the yogurt, apple cider vinegar, dill, and salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise again. Slice the cucumber thinly, angling a knife as you slice, or use a mandoline.
- Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl and mix carefully. Enjoy.

This vegan cucumber dill salad is perfect for summer! It's light, refreshing, and full of flavor.
Equipment
- Mandoline
Ingredients
- ½ cup Vegan yogurt.
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt & freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh Dill 1 teaspoon dried
- 2 Cucumbers, english cucumbers
Instructions
- Mix the yogurt, apple cider vinegar, dill, and salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise again. Slice the cucumber thinly, angling a knife as you slice, or use a mandoline.
- Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl and mix carefully. Enjoy.
Notes
- Vegan yogurt. I use cashew yogurt, but coconut or almond yogurt also works great. Make sure you use unsweetened. In a pinch, you could sub with homemade sour cream.
- Apple cider vinegar, I like my salad extra tangy, but if you want a milder salad, use rice vinegar.
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- Dill, fresh is best, in my opinion, but you could sub with dried weed dill.
- Cucumbers use English or Persian cucumbers; they are less watery and crunchier than the regular garden cucumber.
