Creamy Cucumber Tzatziki Salad

With all the flavors of my top-rated tzatziki sauce, this cucumber tzatziki salad is basically a deconstructed version of the popular dip. The refreshing yogurt and cucumber flavors combine so well and truly create a unique and satisfying bite that's ready in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yogurt 240 g, plain, Greek
  • 1 Tbsp dill chopped, fresh
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red onion ¼ of a medium onion, sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Yogurt Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, dill, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cucumber Salad: Pat dry cucumber slices with paper towels. Gently stir to combine yogurt dressing with cucumber and red onion.

Notes

  • Storage: This salad stores very well and often tastes better on the second day. As the ingredients sit and combine, the flavors really intensify. Keep it refrigerated in a securely sealed container, and you can enjoy it for up to 3 days.
  • Add other herbs like mint, basil, oregano, or parsley for a different flavor.
  • Excess moisture: If you're worried about the cucumbers having too much moisture, you can sprinkle them with salt while they are laid on a paper towel. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes while the salt draws out excess moisture and the paper towel soaks it up.
