Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

Peel and finely chop the red onion. In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber and chopped red onion.

Step 4
Chop the fresh dill and mint leaves, if using, and stir them into the yogurt dressing.
Step 5
Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber and onion mix. Toss gently to ensure all the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
