Creamy Tzatziki Cucumber Salad

Step 1

Add the sliced cucumbers to a colander and toss with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside for 30 minutes, either in the sink or placed over a bowl to drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad dressing. In a large bowl, stir the yogurt, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and chopped dill together. Season with a pinch of salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Mix the onions around in the yogurt dressing then set aside until the cucumbers are ready.

Step 3

After 30 minutes of salting the cucumbers, rinse them with cold water. Shake off excess water then add to the dressing. Toss the cucumbers until coated. Taste then season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with more fresh herbs scattered on top. Serve or keep refrigerated up to 2 days.
