What makes this Creamy Cucumber Salad Skinny?

 I use a combination of Light Mayo and non fat plain Greek yogurt to keep the calories and points low without sacrificing all the creaminess and flavor that mayo gives. Non fat plain Greek yogurt is zero points and loaded with protein-the Kraft light mayo or Best foods light mayo is 1 Freestyle Smart Point for 1 tablespoon and adds a creaminess and flavor that you just don’t get with non fat plain Greek yogurt.  This is my own opinion. I have a passion of recreating recipes that are lower in points without compromising the taste of the classic or original recipe-and this is one of those recipes- you won’t be able to tell the difference between my version and the classic version made with sour cream or full fat Mayonnaise.

However, if you prefer you can easily make this cucumber salad with just the non fat plain Greek yogurt instead of the combination of the two. 

Did you know?

According to Heathline, cucumbers are low in calories and contain a good amount of water and soluble fiber, making them ideal for promoting hydration and aiding in weight loss. Cucumbers contain antioxidants, including flavonoids and tannins, which prevent the accumulation of harmful free radicals and may reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Cucumbers have one of the highest water content. In fact, cucumbers are made up of about 96% water-which means they carry a ton of water, that is why I like to drain as much as I can from the cucumbers before adding the dressing. To do this, you’ll peel and slice the cucumbers and onions and let them drain in a strainer for 15-20 minutes before tossing them in the dressing. 

How to store and how long will it last?

This salad can be stored in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge.
