Ingredients
- 2 whole cucumber (English or Persian)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, cut the cucumbers into thin slices. Alternatively, you can peel the cucumbers partially to create a striped pattern before slicing. Transfer the cucumber slices to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the cucumbers. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sour cream, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 4
Pour the creamy dill dressing over the cucumbers and red onions. Gently toss until the cucumbers and onions are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Step 6
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or enjoy on its own as a light summer snack. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
