I can’t remember the last time I made grilled salmon with my delicious tangy cucumber sauce. It used to be a staple in our home, but when I got pregnant with my daughter, I couldn’t stand the sight of salmon. I was recently sent a Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap™ Compact Food Processor and thought it would be fun to make my cucumber sauce and share it with you guys. It’s a simple recipe that goes perfectly with grilled salmon.
Tangy Cucumber Sauce Recipe

What I love about this tangy cucumber sauce is how simple it is to make. It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to make it either. Heck, I bet you have all the ingredients in your fridge already! We usually pair it with white rice and some corn niblets.
What you will need for your tangy cucumber sauce recipe:
- One cucumber
- Half of a lemon juice (about two teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup of Hellmann’s Mayonaise
- 1/2 teaspoon of Goya Adobo (or any seasoning salt you preferer)
- One teaspoon of Paprika (not optional!!)
- One tablespoon of Dijon mustard (you can opt for yellow mustard if you don’t have Dijon mustard on hand)
Directions:
In a medium bowl, mix the mayo, seasoning salt, paprika, and mustard together. Cut cucumbers into chunks and add in the food processor (or blender).
Pour your mayo mixture in and squeeze the juice from half of a lemon.
Use the pulse setting on your food processor for about 1-2 minutes to break down the cucumber chunks. Then use the ON setting and let it run for about three more minutes until everything is smooth.
Chill mixture for an hour and serve over grilled salmon or any fish of your choice.
Pro Tip: Don’t peel the skin of your cucumber. Your sauce will have a nice chunky texture. Store your remaining sauce (if there is still some left lol) in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
The Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap™ Compact Food Processor!
I’m so happy that I got to test the Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap™ Compact Food Processor. The last time I used a food processor was in Home Economics when we made pizza from scratch. Yup, that was a LONG time ago. I’ve wanted one for a while, but we didn’t have much storage space before. What I like about this food processor is how compact it is. Gets the job done but doesn’t take up too much counter space. The snap feature prevents liquid from spilling all over. The food processor is simple to assemble and use.
Looking for a food processor that won’t break the bank or take too much counter space? The Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap™ Compact Food Processor is very affordable, and definitely, a must have.
I hope you will give this delicious recipe a try.

This looks so delicious and easy to make. I will have to add a Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap Compact Food Processor to my wish list.
Oh my goodness yes please this sounds like the most delicious idea of a sauce to go with salmon.

LOVE this. My husband isn’t a salmon fan but I bet I could change his mind with this recipe.
That sounds like a fabulous recipe. I love salmon but tend to make a honey mustard sauce. This would be a great alternative!
This cucumber sauce sounds delicious and totally perfect for summer! I can also see it making a great vegetable dip or going well with shrimp tacos.

We make salmon a LOT in our family and we love it grilled! I also absolutely love cucumber dips – with dill added too! I really need to get a food processor.

Now this salmon looks amazing!! I haven’t made a good salmon recipe in a long time, I need to make this!!
This sounds amazing and something I am going to try. I have been experimenting with new sauces and flavors to help give our meals a boost. This would be perfect with a gyro.
This looks really yummy! I would love to try it this coming weekend. Bookmark this.
OMGoodness! how have I NOT tried this yet? it sounds amazing! I’m going to make this asap and maybe I’ll share with the rest of the family, but it may be too good and I’ll eat it all… mwah haha! thanks for this: )
This post brought to mind my family going out to eat the other night. My wife complained because there were too many cucumber pieces in her cucumber sauce. I guess she likes it creamy instead of chewy 🙂
We are big salmon eaters in my home. This sauce would be incredible on grilled salmon tacos.
This sounds and looks like a yummy recipe! I love salmon and would love to try this sometime.
That is a great looking sauce. Sounds real good for dipping some veggies in. I wish I had some Hamilton Beach products in my home to help me do things like this.
This sounds delicious! I absolutely love cucumber, so I could see myself eating this with almost anything!

Looks awesome! I see that you are using quite large chunks of cucumbers to process in the food processor – I am impressed. Great that it is able to pulse out such large chunks. I always suffer with my appliances as I have to essentially do most of the work myself chopping the ingredients before using processors. I mostly use a blender. The processor you have got looks amazing!
I was impressed by how well the food processor was able to chop those big cucumber chunks.
This is such a great summer recipe. I have never made a cucumber dip, but I will be trying yours soon. I bet it would be great as a dipping sauce for veggies.
I had to come over and find out what you made with your food processor and it sounds so good! My family likes homemade sauces instead of store bought and we use Goya as well so this is going to be a hit!
Thank you for stopping by! I had so much fun making this recipe. Goya gives food so much flavor!
