Ingredients

4 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Instructions

Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them thinly. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Add the sliced cucumbers to the bowl. If you’re using red onion and cherry tomatoes, add those as well.

Gently fold the cucumbers and vegetables into the yogurt dressing, ensuring they are all well-coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or dill if desired before serving.
