Cucumber Dill Greek Yogurt Salad Recipe

This light Cucumber Dill Greek Yogurt Salad recipe will surprise you at how easy it is. It’s super tasty too!

A local sandwich shop serves a cucumber dill salad that I just crave. I always feel like I’m choosing a healthy side when I order it. It is mostly cucumber after all. In an attempt to recreate it at home, I gave them a call to see what the creamy base was made out of it, hopeful that it was something healthy. The sweet lady told me that it was cole slaw dressing. Mayonnaise. Durn. Not that I don’t like mayonnaise. I do. I like it very much. But bathing suits don’t like it very much.

Instead of caving to the mayo, I used my typical cole slaw dressing ingredients, substituting 0% fat plain greek yogurt for the mayonnaise to create a lightened up version of this crunchy favorite. I was delighted to this Cucumber Dill Greek Yogurt Salad mighty tasty! Crunchy, refreshing, and light … what’s not to love?

As I mentioned, this cucumber salad is easy peasy. Begin by peeling the cucumbers. Then cut them in half and use a spoon to remove the seeds. The seeds water the salad down quite a bit. Finally, slice the cucumber halves. Next, mix up the simple dressing. Whisk together the yogurt, dried dill, vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Add the cucumber slices and toss to coat. That’s it!

This Cucumber Dill Greek Yogurt Salad will be a new summer go-to for cookouts and picnics around here for sure. And I’m thinking it will be perfect for a cool afternoon snack too. Try this one soon!
