Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers if desired (optional) and slice them into thin rounds. Alternatively, slice them into thin half-moons if the cucumbers are large.
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with a pinch of salt to draw out excess water. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, fresh dill (chopped finely), garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar until smooth and well-combined.
Add the prepared cucumbers to the bowl and gently toss to coat them with the creamy dressing.
Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or snack. Garnish with additional dill if desired.
