Creamy Cucumber Salad with Greek Yogurt Dressing featuring crisp cucumber slices tossed in a tangy, herb-filled yogurt dressing.
3 medium English cucumbers thinly sliced
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic minced
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion optional
Slice cucumbers and lightly salt. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes.
Pat cucumbers dry to remove excess moisture.
Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
Toss cucumbers with dressing until coated.
Chill 30 minutes before serving.
Salting the cucumbers helps prevent a watery dressing.
