- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the English cucumber thoroughly and slice it thinly into rounds. If preferred, the cucumber can be peeled before slicing.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic clove. Ensure it is minced into very small pieces to avoid overpowering the salad.

Step 4
Slice the red onion very thinly into half-moons.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped mint, and ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Add the sliced cucumber and red onion to the yogurt mixture in the bowl and gently toss everything together until the vegetables are coated completely with the yogurt dressing.
Step 7
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve the cucumber yogurt salad immediately or refrigerate for up to two hours before serving. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish!
