Cucumber mayonnaise

4 servings

10 minutes

Cucumber mayonnaise is a refreshing sauce with a creamy texture inspired by Russian cuisine. This sauce combines the tenderness of cream cheese, the tanginess of sour cream, and the aroma of garlic and dill, with the key element being the light crunch of fresh cucumber. Its origin is linked to the idea of creating a lighter version of traditional mayonnaise enriched with natural ingredients. The taste is pleasantly balanced between creamy softness and freshness, making it an ideal complement to vegetable snacks, fish, meat, or even just toasted bread. Cucumber mayonnaise can be used as a dip sauce, salad dressing, or spread for sandwiches, adding lightness and a unique aroma of summer gardens.
