- Prepare the vegetables:
Wash the cucumbers and carrots. Slice the cucumbers into semi-circles or rounds. Dice the carrots into small cubes (you can blanch them for 2-3 minutes for softer texture). - Make the dressing:
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard (if using), lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. - Combine everything:
Add the sliced cucumbers, diced carrots, and pineapple chunks (if using) into a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss gently until all pieces are coated. - Chill and serve:
Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
🌟 Tips:
Add chopped fresh dill or parsley for an herby touch.
For a lighter version, replace mayo with more Greek yogurt.
