Creamy Cucumber and Sweet Onion Salad "My Way"

Bridget @cook_3555328
I love cucumber salad but the full fat mayo version has too many calories. So I've created one that uses lighter ingredients but the taste isn't compromised. This is my "go to" side dish for so many meals now made with less guilt!
Cooking Instructions

Put cucumbers and onions in a large bowl. Mix remaining ingredients well with a whisk. Pour over cucumbers and onions and allow to chill for an hour before serving.

Simple Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad
Here in Southern California, we're back to al fresco dining weather, and we like to enjoy it as much a possible.One of our favorite al fresco meals is a wine, cheese, and salumi lunch, and this simple tomato salad made specifically with red wine vinegar is one of my favorite accompaniments. You could totally use another kind of vinegar if you like, but there's just something about the flavor of red wine vinegar that I love in this salad. :)If you can get them, sweet onions like Vidalias or Mayan Sweets are ideal.


Easy Refreshing Sweet Onion and Tomato Salad
This is a copycat recipe of the tomato salad that a Genghis Khan (BBQ sliced lamb) restaurant serves. My husband, who does not like fresh tomatoes, loved it. And, he said it was better than the one at the restaurant.If you use sweet onions, they should not be too sharp tasting, but if you'd rather not have any sharpness, soak them in water to mellow the flavor. If you have enough time, chill the tomatoes on a plate in the refrigerator until icy cold, then enjoy. Recipe by Momonoyasashiikaori

I absolutely love the combination of these flavors. I wanted everyone to try it at least once so I uploaded the recipe here!The oranges I used this time were small, so I used one per person, cut it into half and then sliced them into about 7-8 mm. If you have large oranges, cut them into quarters first.If you don't have sweet onions, use regular onions, soaked in salted water or massaged with a little salt to get rid of the harshness. For 2 servings. Recipe by rie-tin


Sweet Potato and Cream Cheese Deli Style Salad
We received some sweet potatoes as a gift, and I came up with this recipe. Kabocha squash and sweet potatoes are similar, so I used the kabocha squash salad they sell at the deli counters in a department store food hall as inspiration.The sweet potatoes should be on the soft side. If you think they are little hard when you're mashing them, microwave them for a few minutes. This salad is delicious when it's freshly made, but I recommend chilling it in the refrigerator before serving. If you want a smoother texture, add some milk and adjust. Recipe by Mokodeli


Sweet Onion and Pork Salad with Garlic and Mayo
I had some delicious sweet onions.Cutting the onion at a right angle helps mitigate its stinging spiciness.There's no need to soak the sweet onion in water or rub some salt in it. However, if you dislike its spiciness or if you're using regular onions, please prep them so they're not too strong in flavor.Do not chill the pork in ice water! This will make the meat excessively tough. Recipe by Oshisu

Mayo-Free! Sweet Potato and Kabocha Squash Salad
I modified a dish I was served at a friend's house.The firmness of the kabocha and sweet potato differs, so make sure they are cooked by poking a bamboo skewer through before proceeding to Step 3. If they aren't cooked through, add a bit more milk and let it simmer. It should have a pretty loose texture, which is just fine since it will harden as it cools. That being said, the firmness should be to your liking, so adjust the simmer time accordingly. Recipe by Doremiredo
