Taste and adjust—add more lemon for tang, more mayo for richness, or more dill for freshness.

Step 5 — Fold in the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the veggie mixture and pour the creamy dressing over the top.

Use a soft spatula to gently fold everything together so the shrimp remain whole and the cucumbers stay crisp.

Step 6 — Chill Before Serving

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving.
This lets the flavors blend together, making the salad even more delicious.


🍋 Helpful Tips for Perfect Results

✔ For a lighter version

Use Greek yogurt in place of half the mayo.

✔ For extra crunch

Add chopped celery or thin-sliced radishes.

✔ For a Mediterranean twist

Add crumbled feta, olives, and a bit of fresh mint.

✔ Storage

Best enjoyed fresh. It can last up to 24 hours in the fridge, but the cucumbers may soften slightly over time.
