Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Peel them if desired, although leaving the peel on adds a nice texture.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then, slice them into thin half-moons and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the yogurt mixture.
Step 5
Chop the fresh dill and fresh mint leaves finely and add them to the yogurt mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Pour the yogurt dressing over the sliced cucumbers in the salad bowl. Toss gently to ensure that the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls and serve immediately. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
