Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup finely diced red onion ((or halved & thinly sliced with a mandolin* // ~1/2 medium onion as recipe is written))
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 cup unsweetened plain coconut yogurt ((we like Culina))
1/2 tsp each sea salt and black pepper
2 Tbsp lemon juice ((~ 1 medium lemon as recipe is written))
1 ½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp dijon mustard ((or yellow mustard))
1-2 tsp maple syrup ((to balance out the flavor))
1/4 cup finely chopped dill
1 medium cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced ((~2 cups as recipe is written))

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add all ingredients except for the dill and cucumber (so onion, garlic, coconut yogurt, salt, pepper, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and maple syrup). Mix the dressing until smooth. NOTE: For less intense onion/garlic flavor, you can soak the onion and garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes, then strain well and add to the mixing bowl.
  • Add the dill and sliced cucumber and mix again until cucumber is well coated with dressing.
  • Taste and adjust as needed, adding lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for acidity, maple syrup to balance the acidity, dill for herby flavor, or more cucumber for a less saucy dressing.
  • Best when fresh. If preparing in advance, store dressing and cucumber separately in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Not freezer friendly.

CUCUMBER COCONUT MILK (RAW VEGAN)



Cucumber Coconut Milk (Raw Vegan) image

(LFRV - in moderation) Heavenly!! This is an absolute delicious drink to start your day or anytime you need PURE ENERGY! This will also ward off any cravings for junk food you might be having. You can find young coconuts in some grocery stores but most asian markets will have them. They have white husks - not the old brown ones. NOTE: This does require a juicer and a sturdy knife.
