Tropical Cucumber Salad

Make a cool, dairy-free cucumber salad to accompany dinner tonight. Cucumbers pair well with other fresh produce like tomatoes, avocados and onions. To keep these recipes dairy-free, we use ingredients like lemon juice and peppers to create tangy and bright dressings. Recipes like Tropical Cucumber Salad and Tofu Cucumber Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing are healthy, refreshing and a delicious addition to any table.

This vibrant and healthy summer salad is perfect for BBQs and backyard parties. The dressing is whisked together right in the salad bowl before you add the vegetables, so it's also incredibly easy to make. Choose a fairly firm avocado so it holds its shape in the salad. Source: EatingWell.com, April 2019
