Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Peel and finely chop the red onion. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber and chopped red onion.
In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well-combined.
Chop the fresh dill and mint leaves, if using, and stir them into the yogurt dressing.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber and onion mix. Toss gently to ensure all the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve chilled.
