Print Recipe

A light and refreshing cucumber salad featuring crisp cucumbers and a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt dressing infused with fresh dill. Perfect as a quick side dish or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Rinse the cucumbers under cold water. If using regular cucumbers, peel them to remove the waxy skin. Thinly slice them about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Place the cucumber slices in a colander or salad spinner and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture, then gently pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in honey or maple syrup if using.
  4. Stir in the chopped fresh dill.
  5. Add the drained cucumber slices to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to coat evenly without bruising.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  7. Before serving, taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Salt and drain cucumbers to avoid watery salad. Chill the salad for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld. For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for heat or swap lemon juice with white wine vinegar for a different tang.
