This healthy light Vegetable Salad with Avocado Cucumber Dill Dressing makes a great lunch or side dish.
This Vegetable Salad with Avocado Cucumber Dill Dressing is a perfect light lunch for these hot, summer months. After starting Create Mindfully, I have been enjoying making my own salad dressings. After all, they are way healthier than the store bought ones.
No, they don’t last as long, but do you really want to be putting something in your body that has a long shelf life?
It is super easy to whip up your own dressing, and let me tell you the taste of store bought dressings don’t compare to homemade. Trust me.
This Avocado Cucumber Dill Dressing is the last of my recipes from a huge haul of cucumbers. Until the next produce haul…

This looks soooo good. I love avocado and pumpkins seeds add a great flavor to salads

Plus, pumpkin seeds take a better photo! I was originally going to use sunflower seeds, which aren’t as colorful. (The things I have learned with a year of bogging under my belt!)
