Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe
This creamy cucumber salad is cool, crisp, and incredibly easy to make. Thin cucumbers and onions are tossed in a light, tangy yogurt and mayo dressing with fresh dill for the perfect refreshing side dish.
Ingredients
- 3 baby cucumbers (thinly sliced)
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 ⅓ cups plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- salt (to taste)
- 4 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- ⅓ bunch fresh dill leaves (finely chopped)
- ¼ tablespoon black pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers and onions, chopped dill, minced garlic, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Gently fold everything together with a spoon until the cucumbers are evenly coated in the creamy dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately, or chill for 15 to 20 minutes for a colder, more refreshing texture.
Notes
- Slice cucumbers thin for the best texture and flavor coating.
- Chill for 15 to 20 minutes before serving for a more refreshing taste.
- If the salad releases water, gently stir before serving again.
- Add extra yogurt for a lighter dressing or more mayo for a richer feel.
- Fresh dill gives the best flavor, but dried dill works in a smaller amount.
