Begin by washing and peeling the cucumbers. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Once seeded, slice the cucumbers into thin half-moon shapes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed and a dressing is formed.
Add the sliced cucumbers into the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to ensure all cucumber pieces are evenly coated with the yogurt mixture.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
