Ingredients
- 2 lbs. cucumbers seedless, cut into ¼-inch slices
- ½ cup Greek yogurt*
- 2 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar***
- 1 Tbsp. honey**
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 small red onion thinly slices
- 2-3 Tbsp. Dill fresh, finely chopped
Instructions
- Using a mandoline or knife, thinly slice seedless cucumbers to ¼-inch thick.
- In a large bowl whisk together yogurt, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add cucumbers, red onion, and 2 tablespoons dill. Toss to combine.
- Refrigerate cucumber dill salad for at least 2 hours or overnight.*
- Serve salad with additional dill and enjoy!
Notes
- *Use a dairy-free Greek yogurt to make this cucumber salad recipe both dairy-free and vegan.
- **Reduce the carbs even more by using liquid stevia extract instead of honey.
- ***Swap out the distilled white vinegar for apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- Use a mandoline. This is the quickest and easiest way to uniformly slice cucumbers to use in a salad recipe. Just watch your fingers!
- Seedless is best. Using cucumbers with seeds will inevitably end up in a watery salad. Use seedless cucumbers or deseed them.
- Prep ahead of time. This salad tastes best when it has time to refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
- Grow your own. Homegrown cucumbers and dill have the most flavor and will make this simple salad super delicious! If you can't grow your own, find them at your local farmer's market.
- To Prep-Ahead: This easy cucumber salad can be made completely ahead of time! The longer it chills the more tender the cucumbers will get and the less pungent the red onion will be. Just note, Greek yogurt will begin to separate after about 48 hours. Simply drain the extra liquid and stir before serving.
- To Store: This salad will keep well for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- To Freeze: This is not recommended as the texture of the cucumber will change.
