Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Whole30-compliant yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup red onion
Directions
Step 1
Slice the cucumbers thinly using a mandolin or a sharp knife. Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 2
While the cucumbers are draining, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the Whole30-compliant yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the yogurt dressing, stirring until well coated.
Step 4
After the cucumbers have drained, gently pat them dry with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 5
Add the cucumbers to the bowl with the yogurt dressing and onions. Toss gently to ensure all cucumber slices are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 7
Refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled and enjoy a refreshing Whole30-compliant cucumber salad.
