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!
