Cucumber Dill Noodle Salad

This recipe is adapted from a traditional German cucumber salad recipe but this version is free of refined sugar, is vegan, gluten-free and packed with protein. There is a reason many versions of this recipe have been passed down for generations—it may not look like it has much dressing, but this salad promises layers of flavor you won't soon forget.

Recipe Notes:

  • When using dill seeds a little goes a long way. 8-10 seeds crushed in a mortar with a pestle will give your dressing all the dill notes you will need
  • This recipe is better if the flavours are given time to meld in the fridge for 30 minutes or more
