Raw Carrot & Cucumber Salad with a Creamy Dill Vinaigrette

Recipe in partnership with Grey Arrow Farm CSA Program

I’ve been told this vinaigrette tastes like how you would image a bag of dill pickled chips would be if it could be salad. If you love dill pickled chips, that means it’s d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s. in my books. I grew up in a Ukrainian forward kitchen which means anything dill run through my blood.

Raw Carrot & Cucumber Salad with a Creamy Dill Vinaigrette

  • 1 large cucumber

  • 3-4 small to medium size carrots

Creamy dill vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tbs dried dill or 2 tbs fresh dill chopped fine

  • 1 tbs white vinegar

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • ¼ tsp garlic salt

  • ½ tsp sugar

  • 1 tbs olive oil (if you can find wild dill infused oil even better )

Shave the cucumber using a madoline and grate the carrots. Place in a large bowl. Mix the vinaigrette by whisking together all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate dressing until ready to serve. Toss the salad with the dressing until evenly coated.
