Ingredients
Salad
- 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Add Cucumbers: Add the thinly sliced cucumbers to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss until all slices are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly before serving.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with additional fresh dill on top and serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Notes
- English cucumbers work best because they contain fewer seeds and have a milder flavor.
- Chill the salad before serving for the freshest, most refreshing taste.
- For extra crunch and flavor, add thinly sliced red onion to the salad.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
