Can I make WW cucumber salad recipe in advance?

I wouldn’t recommend making this one in advance. You can absolutely mix up the dressing and slice/chop all the veggies in advance, just keep them stored separately until you are ready to serve your Weight Watchers cucumber salad.

Once the dressing mixes with the vegetables it’s best to serve this one up and enjoy it. If you need to make it in advance just prep the ingredients and mix them up quickly before serving!

Is this a creamy light cucumber salad?

You might have noticed that this is a creamy cucumber salad…that’s the difference between this version and the more pickled cucumber version that you might find!

I like both, I use dill in both of my cucumber salad recipes, this creamy version is great as a side dish, on its own, and for snacking. I love creamy cucumber salad and it just adds a hint of something extra to the recipe that is great for picnics, parties, holidays, and even backyard BBQs!

Weight Watchers Information:

This recipe was calculated using the Weight Watchers recipe creator. If you use different brands than I used you might end up with different points. I do my best to provide accurate information but you should always double-check the points if you have questions or concerns.

This recipe for Weight Watchers cucumber salad makes 6 servings. If you wanted to make this even lower in points you would need to use fat free plain Greek yogurt in place of the light sour cream, it definitely has a different taste but if you don’t mind it that’s a fine swap to make if you feel it’s necessary.

I like the taste of this recipe with the light sour cream so that is what I use.
