This cool and creamy cucumber dill salad is the perfect dish to serve at a potluck or picnic. Or, enjoy it with a sandwich for the perfect summertime lunch.
Since the summer season means many of us have an abundance of cucumbers, what better way to use them up than with a bowl of this tasty salad?
First things first-you want the best-tasting cucumbers for this salad. Look for cucumbers with a dark green color and no blemishes or soft spots. Choose cucumbers that feel heavy for their size.
This is an easy recipe to put together with just cucumbers, onion, yogurt, and seasoning-including dill. I don't know about you, but I think the dill in this recipe is what makes it so good! Fresh dill alongside crunchy and cool cucumbers makes for an absolutely perfect summer side dish.
And, we can't forget that cucumbers are good for you too. All the water in cucumbers can actually help keep you hydrated!
And, they're full of fiber, vitamins K, A, and antioxidants. These are nutrients that help your vision, your immune system, help heart, lung, and kidney function, and fight free radicals. Much of cucumber's nutrition is in the skin, so it's best not to peel them.
One thing to remember with this recipe-it's a good idea to make it a little bit ahead of time, since the flavors need time to meld.
To get started, thinly slice the cucumbers, and dice the onion.
Then combine the onion with the yogurt, dill, and all other ingredients, except the cucumbers.
After combining all the ingredients, except the cucumber, you should have a mixture that looks like this.
Finally, add the sliced cucumbers, and stir. Refrigerate for at least an hour for the best flavor.
Keep this salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
