Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds. Place the cucumber slices in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, white vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the creamy dill dressing over the sliced cucumbers. Gently toss until all the cucumber slices are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and taste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish or refreshing snack.
