Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Procedure Steps
- Begin by thoroughly washing the cucumbers. You can peel them if desired or leave some skin on for added texture and color. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Place the sliced cucumbers in a mixing bowl, ready to be transformed into a refreshing salad.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, kosher salt, and optional black pepper. Give it a good stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated, resulting in a creamy and fragrant dressing that will elevate the cucumbers to new heights of deliciousness.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the sliced cucumbers in the mixing bowl. With gentle tosses, ensure that each cucumber slice is coated with the creamy dressing. Allow the flavors to mingle, creating a harmonious blend of tangy yogurt and fresh dill.
- Cover the bowl and let the Creamy Cucumber Dill Salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will not only enhance the flavors but also allow the salad to cool and refreshingly crisp up, making it even more satisfying on a hot summer day.
