Creamy Cucumber Salad with Dill and Red Onion

  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: In a colander, sprinkle the cucumber slices with a little salt and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), dill, lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced cucumbers and red onion to the dressing. Gently toss until everything is well-coated.
  4. Chill and Serve: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a side dish or a light lunch.
