Creamy Cucumber Salad is the cook-out food you need to bring to your 4th of July party. To make this creamy cucumber salad low in points, I used 2 packets of sugar substitute or enough to equal ¼ cup of sugar, and greek yogurt.
Guys, even if you don’t use a sugar substitute, the points for this salad is still pretty low! See notes section of recipe for points. What are you food plans for this coming holiday?
Other zero point side dishes you can take to your cook outs are Smoked Corn on the Cob, Italian Pasta Salad, and fresh fruit. I’m talking about nicely cut up slices of watermelon. Cause, who doesn’t love that?

Cucumber Salad Recipe FAQS
I’ve seen people use sour cream and mayo if you don’t like the tanginess of the greek yogurt. Keep in mind that the points will not be zero then.
If you let this salad sit in the fridge for a couple of hours you will notice that the salad has produced a lot of liquid. That is coming from the water of the cucumbers of course. If you do not like your cucumber salad that creamy,you can pat the cucumbers dry with a paper towel before adding the vinegar and greek yogurt combo to them.
