Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium English cucumbers (about 1 lb total)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cut cucumbers into thin half moons and toss with salt in a colander. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. While cucumbers drain, stir yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, olive oil, and pepper together until smooth.
  3. Pat cucumber slices dry with a towel, fold into dressing, and season to taste. Serve cold.

Notes

I usually let the salted cucumbers sit while I pull together the rest of the meal, so 10 minutes of draining works perfectly. If you want to make this ahead, wait to combine the cucumbers and dressing until just before serving so it stays creamy.
