April 17, 2025 by [email protected]

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or low-fat sour cream for a creamier texture)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or white wine vinegar for tanginess)

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional garnish: extra dill sprigs or a sprinkle of paprika

Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and slice the cucumbers thinly using a knife or mandoline slicer for even cuts.
- Peel and thinly slice the red onion. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 5–10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lemon juice (or vinegar), and honey (if using).
- Stir in the chopped fresh dill and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed to balance the tanginess and creaminess.
Combine Everything:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and red onion.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to break the cucumber slices.
Chill and Serve:
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with additional fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika for color and flair.
