Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the cucumbers to ensure they are clean. Use a peeler to partially peel the cucumbers, leaving strips of peel for aesthetic appeal if desired.
Thinly slice the cucumbers into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a serving plate or in a shallow bowl.
To prepare the dressing, in a small mixing bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt with lemon juice.
Finely chop the fresh dill and the garlic clove. Add these to the yogurt and lemon juice mixture.
Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Drizzle the zesty dressing over the arranged cucumber slices, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Allow the cucumber slices to marinate in the dressing for at least 5 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve the low-fat cucumber slices with zesty dressing chilled as a refreshing side dish or a healthy snack.
