Instructions

Instructions

  • 1. Add the cucumbers to a large bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Let them rest for 20 minutes, allowing excess moisture to be drawn out. Gently squeeze the cucumber slices and pour off the liquid.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, vinegar, garlic, dill, and salt and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. You can also use a mini blender for a smoother dressing.
  • 3. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, vinegar, or maple syrup to suit your preferences.
  • 4. Pour the prepared dressing over the cucumbers. If desired, add the thinly sliced red onion to the salad. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
  • 5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
