Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 medium cucumber
- 5 large radish
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 15 g fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water.
Peel the cucumber and then slice it into thin rounds. You may also halve the rounds if your cucumber is large.
Trim the ends of the radishes, then slice them thinly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, ensuring they are of similar sizes for uniformity.
Peel the red onion, then slice it very thinly. If the taste of raw onion is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for a few minutes, then drain and pat dry.
In a large bowl, mix together the cucumber, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set a small portion aside for garnishing.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill until smooth.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.
Garnish with the reserved dill and let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side or main salad.
