Print Recipe

A light and refreshing creamy cucumber dill salad with a tangy apple cider vinegar dressing, perfect as a quick side or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cucumbers thinly, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thickness.
  2. Place the cucumber slices in a colander and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt. Toss gently and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk or shake until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, add the drained cucumbers and chopped fresh dill. Pour the dressing over and toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
  6. Before serving, taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed. Add more apple cider vinegar sparingly if a tangier flavor is desired.

Notes

Salting cucumbers is crucial to remove excess moisture and keep the salad crisp. Thin slicing helps the dressing coat evenly. Chill the salad for at least 20 minutes before serving for best flavor. Dressing can be made ahead and stored separately.
