Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Whole30-compliant yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup red onion
Instructions
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a mandolin or a sharp knife. Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
While the cucumbers are draining, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the Whole30-compliant yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the yogurt dressing, stirring until well coated.
After the cucumbers have drained, gently pat them dry with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.
Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the yogurt dressing and onions. Toss gently to ensure all cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy a refreshing Whole30-compliant cucumber salad.
