Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber and use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice it into rounds. Place the slices in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to release.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, white vinegar, olive oil, honey, and water. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Grate the garlic clove directly into the dressing mixture using a fine grater or microplane. Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the bowl.
Step 4
Season the dressing with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well-incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 5
Drain the cucumber slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 6
Arrange the cucumber slices in a serving dish or salad bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumbers and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Garnish with additional fresh dill (optional) and a light sprinkle of paprika for color.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
