- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the cucumbers. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the cucumbers and place them in a large bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Stir until fully mixed to create the dressing.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the sliced cucumbers.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions. Gently stir to coat all the cucumber slices evenly with the creamy dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more black pepper if desired.
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the creamy cucumber salad chilled as a refreshing side or snack.
