Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a peeler, optionally peel the cucumbers, leaving some strips of skin for texture.
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl.
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain yogurt, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and honey until well combined.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber and dill mixture. Gently toss everything together to ensure the cucumbers are well coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
