Ingredients

  • 2 medium cucumber peeled (8 ounces each
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dill fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the cucumbers 1/8-inch thick with a mandolin, season with salt and combine with yogurt and fresh dill in a large bowl.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl topped with more fresh dill, for garnish.

Notes

  • This recipe yields approximately 3 cups of salad, suitable for several servings.
  • You can substitute regular cucumbers with English or Persian cucumbers; peeling is optional for these varieties.
  • If a mandolin is unavailable, slice the cucumbers very thinly with a sharp knife for similar texture.
  • Try different herbs like parsley, tarragon, or chives in place of dill to vary the flavor.
  • Consider adding garlic powder, black pepper, or a splash of white vinegar or lemon juice for extra taste options.
  • You may swap full-fat Greek yogurt for sour cream, mayonnaise, or reduced-fat yogurt depending on preference.
