Ingredients
  

  • 3 cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado cut directly in the skin into cubes
  • 3 tbsp corn approximately 45g
  • 1 red onion julienned thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp low-fat cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp grain mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  2. Cut the avocado directly in its skin into cubes, then scoop the pieces into the same bowl with the cucumbers.
  3. Add the corn and julienned red onion to the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, honey, and grain mustard.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
