Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole English cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Toasted almonds (optional)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the cucumbers. Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, peel alternating strips of skin to create a striped effect. Slice the cucumbers thinly into rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the dill and mint leaves. Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add the dill, mint, and red onion to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, juice of the lemon, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle with toasted almonds if using.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your Regalia of Cucumbers!
