Dill Cucumber Salad

A lot of cucumber salads feature a heavy coating of mayonnaise-based dressing. This lighter version adds a lot of flavor, without overwhelming the cucumber. If you prefer a thicker dressing, cut down on the amount of lemon juice in the dressing.

Tip: Prepare the dressing advance, if possible, to give the flavours more time to develop.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: n/a
Serves: 2-4

Dressing Ingredients:

1/3 c. Greek yogurt
1/3 c. sour cream
1½ T. fresh lemon juice
1 T. fresh dill, finely chopped
½ t. garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Salad Ingredients:

2 large cucumbers, sliced and cut into half rounds
½ medium red onion, sliced thin
1 T. fresh dill, roughly chopped

Prepare the dressing by whisking all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Set aside.

Add the cucumber, red onion, and roughly chopped fresh dill to a large bowl. Pour the dressing on top and toss to combine. Serve immediately or chill for up to two hours before serving. Enjoy!
