Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumber
- 1 large Sweet onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds. For extra crispness, you can peel them partially or completely, depending on your preference.
Peel the sweet onion, cut it in half, and slice it into thin, half-moon shapes. Combine the onions and cucumbers in a large salad bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cherry tomatoes, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic (peeled), dill, salt, and pepper.
Blend the dressing ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the creamy tomato dressing over the cucumber and onion mixture, and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Cover the salad bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired, and serve chilled.
