Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers thinly sliced (about 8 cups sliced)
- 0.5 large red onion thinly sliced (about 1 cup sliced)
- 0.5 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.75 teaspoons salt divided, 0.5 tsp for cucumbers, 0.25 tsp for dressing
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Slice the cucumbers thinly and place in a strainer. Sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon salt and toss. Set the strainer over a bowl and let cucumbers sit for at least 15 minutes to draw out excess water. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, 0.25 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the sliced red onion and chopped fresh dill into the dressing.
- Rinse the salted cucumbers with cold water to remove excess salt, then pat dry with paper towels. Add the cucumbers to the yogurt dressing and toss to combine thoroughly.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate to chill before serving.
Notes
This salad stays fresh in the fridge for 2-3 days. Stir before serving as cucumbers release moisture over time.
