Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 mini or Persian cucumbers or one large English cucumber
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives or ½ cup thinly sliced scallions
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Slice the cucumbers and radishes thinly, using a sharp knife or a mandoline if you have one.
  2. Transfer the sliced cucumbers and radishes to a large bowl, then mix in the dill and chives until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, honey, kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and gently toss everything together to coat the salad well.
  5. Since cucumbers release moisture once dressed, it’s best to enjoy the salad immediately for the freshest taste.
  6. To prepare in advance, store the sliced vegetables and dressing separately in the fridge for up to one day, then combine right before serving.

Notes

  • For regular cucumbers, peel and scoop out seeds before slicing. Whole milk or 2% plain Greek yogurt works best for a thick dressing; avoid regular yogurt because it's too watery. Sour cream or a mayo-yogurt mix can substitute for yogurt. You can swap honey for sugar or another sweetener to balance the tanginess or omit it for a sharper flavor.
