Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise *see post for recommendations
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • ¼ cup finely chopped seedless cucumber
  • 1 teaspoon grainy mustard *If you can't find a compliant brand, try ½ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped capers (optional for migraine diets)
  • freshly cracked pepper and kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cucumber with distilled white vinegar. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Add other ingredients and stir to combine, tasting to see if it needs any seasonings. I personally always add pepper, but prefer it without salt unless you're not using capers. Place it back in the fridge and allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to combine.

Notes

  • You can use homemade mayo or Primal Kitchen for all Whole30. See post for two homemade recipes, one without eggs.
