Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the English cucumbers. Slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick, and set aside.
Step 2
Place the sliced cucumbers in a colander and allow them to drain excess moisture for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by mincing the garlic clove and chopping the fresh dill.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, white vinegar, minced garlic, chopped dill, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
After the cucumbers have drained, gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
Step 6
Add the cucumbers to the mixing bowl with the yogurt dressing. Toss gently to ensure that all cucumber slices are well coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled, garnished with a little extra dill if desired.
