Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers and lettuce thoroughly under cold water.
Peel the cucumbers if desired and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons. Set aside.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
If using cherry tomatoes, slice them in half and add them to the lettuce bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop it).
Add salt and black pepper to the yogurt mixture and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumbers and lettuce in the salad bowl.
Gently toss the salad with tongs or two large spoons until all the ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately as a fresh and healthy side dish, or chill for 10-15 minutes before serving for a colder salad.
