Cucumber Yogurt Dill Salad
Description
Cucumber Yogurt Dill Salad uses thickly sliced cucumbers and lightly sliced red onion mixed with fresh dill to deliver a cool, crunchy vegetable base. The dressing incorporates plain non-fat Greek yogurt with extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice (or white wine vinegar), salt, and black pepper. The yogurt provides a smooth, tangy creaminess balanced by the brightness of lemon and the herbaceous dill.
After combining the dressing ingredients and allowing them to rest for at least 20 minutes, the flavors meld and intensify. The dressing is then tossed thoroughly with the cucumbers, onion, and dill, coating the vegetables evenly. This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature, sometimes garnished with additional dill and fresh cracked pepper for presentation and added flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 large cucumber halved and cut into thick slices
- ¼ red onion finely sliced (optional)
- ¼ cup dill roughly chopped, fresh
Dressing

- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed (or 2 tsp white wine vinegar)

Instructions
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Set the dressing aside for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
