PIN Low Carb Keto Cucumber Salad

Because it’s the quintessential summer salad.

AND CHECKKKKK. Because it’s been a life goal to use the word quintessential in a blog post for the past 6.5 years and finally here, we are.

SRSLY though.  This might just be the best cucumber salad because it’s:

1. SUPER creamy
2. Just a little bit tangy
3. ULTRA fresh
4. STUPID easy
5. Make ahead perfect

So, yea. Pretty much all your summer side dish dreams coming true in this cucumber salad recipe. Pair it with some Cajun burgers with sweet potato buns, a low carb cauliflower potato salad and some cheesecake stuffed strawberries and you are ready to be the food VIP of your Fourth of July shin-dig!

Is it just me or is Summer food the absolute best? It’s always so smoky and makes the air smell really good when you’re walking up and down the streets at night, smelling other people’s dinners wafting through the air.

Mr. FFF and I try to go for walks after dinner and I’m always so full. Until I walk outside and smell everything cooking at my neighbor’s house and then – POOF – I want to eat again.

But, back to this low carb keto cucumber salad.

Are cucumbers low carb?

Yes! Cucumbers are made of a LOT of water which naturally makes them low carb.

It also naturally makes them very very hydrating after you drink one too many red white and blueberry mojitos on July 4^th, you feel me? ?

You guys know I don’t follow any specific diet, but this cucumber salad recipe just so happens to be low carb and still absolutely fabulous. It’s got this creamy and tangy sour cream dressing with zesty little pops of vinegar and fresh notes of dill spiraling all over your tongue in a way that is just so fresh and addicting!

Better yet, it actually gets better as it sits in the refrigerator and the flavors develop, making it super easy for you to be that food VIP because you can make this a day ahead! Just grab it and GO GO GO!

How to make Low Carb Keto Cucumber Salad Dairy Free

Because Mr. FFF can’t have dairy, I’ve also tested this with both dairy and lactose free sour cream and both work equally great! So, no one has to miss out on the refreshing cucumber salad goodness this summer!

Side note: have also tried it without onions to make it low FODMAP, since he also can’t have onions (??) Works too!

I’m honestly not even sure if we can call this a recipe based on the fact that you mix a few ingredients in a bowl, slice some cucumber, toss it in and – VOILA – it is done!

But, considering I do have some ingredient measurements for you, we’re going to call it a recipe and not look back.

Unless our bowl of cucumber salad is behind us ‘cause then we are looking back A-N-D walking back on over to it.

Trust me my internet friends, you will not be wanting leave this CREAMY cucumber and onion salad alone this Summer.
