Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Cucumbers
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and use a spiralizer to create ‘spaghetti’ noodles. Alternatively, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons. Place the cucumber spaghetti in a large mixing bowl.
Prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, freshly chopped dill, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth, then add salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the bowl with the cucumber noodles.
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the cucumber mixture, along with the sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch.
Pour the dill dressing over the cucumber spaghetti salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an extra refreshing dish.
