weight watchers Creamy Cucumber Shrimp Salad Recipe: A Refreshing Summer Delight

Ingredients:

• 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat for a lighter option)
• 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp capers (optional for added flavor)
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: If not already done, cook the shrimp by boiling or sautéing them in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper until pink and tender. Let them cool and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Slice the Cucumber: Wash and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. You can also use a spiralizer if you prefer spiral-cut cucumbers for a different texture.
3. Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped dill. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, cucumber slices, and capers (if using). Pour the creamy dressing over the mixture and toss everything gently until well-coated.
5. Chill and Serve: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and extra flavor.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve this creamy cucumber shrimp salad on a bed of mixed greens, or enjoy it on its own for a refreshing and satisfying dish.
