cucumber avocado salad with watermelon

There's a time I wish I were a bird, not to savor this savory creamy cucumber salad lol, but to fly to places where there's sunshine! It feels like a cold autumn day here, the sky has been dark filled with rain for a few days now!

But, to create a summer mood as we wait for the sunshine, we are enjoying this awesomely delicious creamy cucumber salad recipe, at least it makes us feel like we are in summer.

This bowl of creamy cucumber salad is totally vegan folded with a simple dressing after sprinkling some nutritional yeast, and some fresh herbs.

I love the way nutritional yeast adds that nutty and umami flavor. It also somehow thickens the sauce making it so irresistibly delicious.

Then the fresh herb, I added cilantro (seems I can't go anywhere without it hahaha) chive and dill.

And cilantro and dill have a strong aroma that will make you want more of this cucumber salad.

You must try out this creamy cucumber salad recipe, it's so easy to assemble, just dice and chop everything, assemble all in a large bowl, squeeze some lime juice, add nutritional yeast, fold in with the simple dressing and voilà.

And please leave that cucumber skin on, otherwise, you'll be throwing a lot of healthy vitamins and minerals.
