Greek cucumber salad with marinated red onions tossed in a tzatziki inspired Greek yogurt dressing. It's fresh, creamy, and has a good punch of flavor, and makes a perfect side for all of your summer get togethers.

Greek Cucumber Salad

red onion

olive oil

red wine vinegar

oregano

cucumbers,

plain Greek yogurt (full fat)

lemon juice

garlic, pressed

dill

kosher salt,

black pepper

In a small bowl, combine the red onion, olive oil, vinegar, and oregano. Let the onions marinate at room temperature while preparing the rest of the salad.

Place the sliced cucumbers into a large salad bowl.

Combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper. Add to the cucumbers, along with the marinated onions, including the liquid from the onions. Toss everything together really well. Taste for salt and pepper.

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.

This is delicious. I used plain Coconut yogurt and added a little just mayo to the dressing. I also added fresh chives. Thanks for the recipe!

Great! I didn’t think marinating the onions would matter that much, but it made them really good!

I made this today; couldn’t stop eating it so I had to make another batch so no one would notice how much I ate before dinner.

It was fantastic!!

Was looking for a traditional salad with fresh dill.  Was horrified about how many recipes used dried!!!  So this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It was just very fresh, aromatic and flavorful.  Almost doesn’t matter how you riff on it.  I didn’t have wine vinegar for the onions so I used rice vinegar and threw in some old acidic red wine that was too awful to drink - but sits in the fridge for cooking.  

My salad also sat too long before serving - my guests were late, but the bit of runniness that occurred was fine.  I just soaked some up with a paper towel and mixed the cucumbers up some more.  The consistency was then like a restaurants cuke salad instead of a tzatsiki- but fine none the less.  I probably ate half of it myself!!!  Thanks Katya.

Used freshly picked cucumbers from our garden but didn’t have fresh dill or full fat Greek yogurt.   I used dried dill (2 Tbsp - instead of 1/4 cup of fresh) and fat free Kroger brand Greek yogurt.  The recipe was refreshing and delicious.  Can’t wait to get some fresh dill!  This is one of my favorite summer salads, especially with fresh picked garden ingredients!

This was SOOOOO good! I've never made this dish. I hope it will last more than 1 day, even if it gets soggy. I kinda added more of everything so now I have too much on hand, but that makes me happy. It's just delicious and the fresh dill is key and fresh lemon juice... I could go on. I had so much fun making this and it's just as tasty as can be. I couldn't stop eating it with Naan bread! Thank you!

I made this with a twist and and turned out great. My husband hates onions and we were out anyway. I wanted something similar so I chopped up some Greek peperoncini peppers and threw them in with just a little of the juice. It added that but if crunch and tang the onions usually gives. It was great in a pinch and my husband loved it.

Even using fat free Greek yogurt and dried dill, the salad was delicious. My two cucumbers may have been smaller, but the sauce was enough for three. Still good the next day.

Delicious! Had to use what I had on hand - full-fat regular yogurt, sweet onion, and dried dill, and the salad was still yummy. Was the perfect way to use up the end-of-season garden cucumbers (I'm in Florida - our spring gardens are ending now.) This recipe is a keeper.

So I only had some of the ingredients so I had to improvise!  Still turned out amazing!!  Thank you!
