Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing creamy cucumber salad featuring fresh dill and white wine vinegar, perfect for summer gatherings and light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced (about ⅛-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, about ⅛-inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline (5-7 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Transfer the sliced cucumbers to a large bowl and add the chopped fresh dill. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cucumber and dill mixture. Fold gently with a spatula or large spoon to coat without bruising the cucumbers (about 3 minutes).
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and let flavors meld. If short on time, 15 minutes is acceptable.
  6. Before serving, stir the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.

Notes

Use English or Persian cucumbers for less watery salad. Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. If watery after chilling, drain excess liquid before serving. Fresh dill is preferred over dried. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with coconut yogurt and vegan mayo. Add a splash of milk or water if dressing is too thick.
