Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 units English Cucumbers Use fresh, firm cucumbers for the best crisp texture.
  • 3 units Roma Tomatoes Choose seedless ones to maintain the salad's moisture level.
  • 1 unit Red Onion Soak in water to mellow its sharpness.
  • 1 unit Red Bell Pepper Adds a beautiful pop of color and sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill Brightens the dish; feel free to use dried dill if needed.
For the Creamy Dressing
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise Creates a rich base for the creamy dressing.
  • 2 tablespoons White Vinegar Adds the necessary acidity; substitute with lemon juice for a zesty twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the savory flavor profile.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Introduces warmth and subtle spice.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Essential for elevating taste.

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine mayonnaise, white vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and sugar. Whisk or shake vigorously until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours; store the dressing separately if making in advance.
